Our Approach
How we source and process our cashews
We directly source our cashews from local farmers, processing them right here in Côte d'Ivoire in adherence to the highest food standards. While this approach might appear simple, it's often overlooked by many companies, leading to stale and untraceable cashews upon arrival. Our method keeps processing close to the farms, which shortens the supply chain and keeps kernels fresh.
