About the product
Our organic Fairtrade cashews come from smallholder cooperatives in Burkina Faso. They are harvested by hand, then carefully cracked and skinned – under safe conditions for the workers. Only then are the raw kernels shipped to Hamburg, where they are gently roasted and refined with aromatic pepper – for an aromatic, spicy and slightly piquant snacking pleasure.
Crisp in texture, mildly creamy in aroma and finely balanced with aromatic, sweet Malabar pepper from southern India – a balanced taste experience with a slightly spicy note.
Cashew nuts are a valuable source of vegetable protein, healthy unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. As a nutritious snack, they support a balanced diet.
Ideal as a snack, for an aperitif or as a topping for bowls, salads and Asian-inspired dishes.
Origin: The cashew nuts come from the region around Bobo Dioulasso in Burkina Faso. They are grown by around 2,000 families from small farmers' cooperatives that produce organically and according to Fairtrade standards. In a country facing economic challenges and structural disadvantages, fair prices, purchase guarantees and training create important prospects for independent development.
Processing: After harvesting, the nuts are processed entirely on site in Burkina Faso. After steaming to neutralise the shell fluid, the nuts are cracked manually, dried, treated with thermal shock and skinned. Protective measures are taken to protect workers from the corrosive acid in the cashew shell. Only after this complex processing are the cashews vacuum-packed and shipped to Hamburg. There, they are gently roasted without oil and refined with pepper.
