Barjil Strong Roasted Saffron Ahmad Aghaei Pistachios

The nuts are strictly calibrated to the large 24-26 ounce grade, representing one of the highest commercial length profiles for Ahmad Aghaei. The natural split ratio exceeds 98% purely on-tree opened, completely free of mechanically cracked shells or undersized blind pods, contractually guaranteed in trade agreements.

The double-roast method employs an initial moisture-reduction drying step followed by intensive indirect convective hot-air roasting to fully cure the interior kernel lipids. Concentrated, freshly brewed Ghaenat saffron extract is applied as a micro-atomized mist alongside pure saline during the secondary thermal cycle, ensuring deep golden tinting and rich saffron permeation without scorching.

The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) starts at 25 master cartons of 10kg each (250kg net total). For containerized export shipments, packaging options include 10kg nitrogen-flushed vacuum barrier cartons or 25kg/50kg laminated polypropylene woven bags. A standard 20-foot shipping container accommodates approximately 12 to 14 metric tons of palletized, stretch-wrapped master cartons.

Barjil utilizes advanced multi-spectrum color sorters and optical defect scanners to eliminate stained or damaged hulls, effectively removing the primary host vectors for Aspergillus flavus. Every export consignment is validated by certified third-party laboratory analysis reports, guaranteeing that Total Aflatoxin and B1 levels remain strictly below the most stringent European and international thresholds (below 4 ppb and 2 ppb respectively).

Thanks to intensive thermal processing and residual moisture below 2%, the product retains its crispness and aroma for 12 months in original vacuum packaging. Storage facilities should be cool (10-15°C), well-ventilated, and dry (relative humidity under 50%). Because authentic saffron pigments are light-sensitive, shaded storage is essential to prevent photochemical fading of the golden color.

Yes, for contract orders starting at 1 metric ton per lot, Barjil provides full customization of salinity (from 1.0% to 3.0%), unsalted saffron-roasted formulas, or calibrated roasting levels from medium to extra-strong. Pilot sample runs from test roasting lines can be prepared and dispatched for client sensory approval prior to full-scale commercial processing.

All export consignments are supported with certified commercial invoices, packing lists, Chamber Certificates of Origin, official Phytosanitary Certificates, and accredited aflatoxin laboratory test reports. Standard delivery terms are contracted under FCA (Tehran), FOB (Bandar Abbas), or CFR/CIF (Jebel Ali, Doha, Shanghai, Mersin), with comprehensive documentary assistance through customs clearance.
