Barjil Premium Sliced Almonds

To preserve physical sliver integrity, Barjil packages sliced almonds in 5 kg vacuum-sealed pouches conditioned with gentle inert nitrogen flush and cushioned corrugated 5-ply cartons. Breakage, fine fragments, and dust are guaranteed below 3% upon arrival, meeting the strict cosmetic requirements of fine patisseries and food processors.

Barjil sources raw kernels strictly from certified sweet almond orchards cultivating Mamaei and stone-shell sweet varieties. Prior to slicing, random sensory mastication assays and biochemical screenings for amygdalin (the compound responsible for bitterness) are conducted per batch, ensuring 100% sweet, nutty taste profile across all cartons.

Because blanching removes the protective outer skin and exponentially increases surface-area exposure, sliced almonds are more vulnerable to lipid oxidation. Barjil mandates cold storage between 5°C and 12°C with relative humidity below 55%. The vacuum-sealed barrier packaging blocks oxygen ingress, preserving the ivory-white color and fresh lipid stability for up to 12 months.

The standard wholesale MOQ is 10 master cartons (100 kg gross weight). For pastry chefs, hotels, and bakery networks, Barjil provides 10 kg master cartons packed with ten individual 1 kg vacuum resealable zip-pouches, ensuring ingredients remain airtight and pristine until ready for kitchen prep.

Barjil's thermal steam blanching serves as an integrated pasteurization step that inactivates Enterobacteriaceae, fungal spores, and total viable bacterial loads. Every export lot comes with an accredited COA validating total aflatoxin below 4 ppb (meeting strict EU regulations) alongside verified negative screening for Salmonella and E. coli.

Yes, Barjil's slicing machinery features micro-adjustable cutting heads. Beyond standard slivers, our facility can supply ultra-thin almond flakes (0.8 mm to 1.2 mm thickness) and finely sieved defatted almond flour for macaron producers, chocolate makers, and dairy dessert plants under industrial supply contracts.

Given the high value and delicate physical texture of sliced almonds, expedited export shipments are frequently dispatched via air cargo through Imam Khomeini International Airport (under CIP/CPT terms) or temperature-controlled reefer containers via road/sea. Barjil swiftly processes Phytosanitary quarantine clearances and customs declarations.
