Built for procurement teams

We operate like an extension of your sourcing function — prioritizing specification clarity, predictable lead times and clean documentation. Our role is to translate your technical requirements into a stable, repeatable supply program.

Whether you need whole kernels for roasting, blanched kernels for a light color target, diced kernels for inclusions, or paste for high-shear mixing, we help you choose the right format, particle size, and packaging for the job.

Spec-first workflow: target spec → sample/approval → contract spec sheet → COA per lot → shipment release

Important: the specification numbers below are presented as widely-used industrial reference ranges and examples. Your contract specification can be tighter or different (customer-specific tolerances, allergen policies, micro limits, etc.).

Technical specification snapshots

Below are practical buyer-facing “spec snapshots” used in industrial procurement: physical sizing/calibration, chemical & safety limits, microbiological expectations, and packaging formats. If you share your target spec, we will align to your QA sheet and confirm feasibility by product form and plant.

Applications & technical guidance

Chocolate & confectionery

Use paste/purée for fillings, gianduja-style systems, and compound coatings; specify micron target to control mouthfeel and viscosity. Diced kernels are common for inclusions and panned products (control fines).

Paste micron target Roast profile Inclusion sizing

Bakery & cereals

Blanched kernels deliver lighter appearance in premium bakery; roasted meal/flour improves aroma in biscuits, fillings, and cereal clusters. Define granulation (0–2 mm vs. 0–3 mm) and moisture targets for crispness.

Granulation control Moisture targets Color management

Ice cream, dairy & spreads

Paste is widely used for gelato bases, dairy mixes, and spreads. Define roast level and particle size for smoothness; choose drums/IBC packaging to match your melting and dosing system.

Choosing the right format (quick guide)

Format Choose it when you need… Key spec knobs
Natural kernels In-house roasting control or “natural” label positioning; flexible downstream processing. Size (single/mixed), moisture, defect tolerances, packaging (jute/big bag/vacuum).
Blanched kernels Light color targets; reduced skin; premium inclusions. Color, skin %, breakage, aflatoxin limits, micro limits, vacuum packing.
Roasted kernels/cuts Ready-to-use aroma; stable crunch; reduced processing steps. Roast degree, moisture, sieve curve, fines control, oxidation (peroxide/FFA).
Meal / flour Powdered inclusions, bakery matrices, coatings, gluten-free bases. Granulation, moisture, fat content (standard vs. customer-defined), micro limits.
Paste / purée Fillings, spreads, gelato bases, sauces, beverages. Micron target, roast profile, packaging (drum/IBC/bucket), storage temperature.

Tip for R&D: if you’re troubleshooting viscosity or grittiness in spreads/fillings, particle size and roast profile are usually the two fastest levers to test (then packaging/storage history).

Packaging & logistics options

Packaging is selected based on oxidation risk, inclusion sensitivity, handling constraints, and your receiving system. We can support FCL/LCL planning and align cartonization/pallet patterns to your warehouse standards.
