Our raw material - Raw Cashew Nut - is ethically sourced from our own network of over 50,000 smallholder farmers in Mozambique. We are a single-country origin brand, and we can trace our kernel to the district level where it was grown.

Since we process at the source – our own factory in rural Mozambique - our cashew has a lower carbon footprint, whereas most cashew is shipped in its bulky shell, halfway around the world, in its raw state.

After being processed, our cashew kernel is sorted and packed in 25 different grades. Between whole and broken kernel, the different grades (or sizes) have a broad range of applications.
