Parlan Akbari Handpicked Salted Pistachio

The minimum order quantity for domestic distribution is 500 kg, while export shipments start at 1 metric ton (one standard export pallet). Primary packaging includes 5kg and 10kg cartons with inner vacuum barrier bags or 20kg nitrogen-flushed bulk bags. For containerized freight, each euro-pallet contains 80 to 100 cartons of 10kg, fully stretch-wrapped with corner protectors to prevent moisture penetration and mechanical damage during sea or road transit.

Parlan handpicked Akbari pistachios are sorted in 20-22 and 22-24 size calibers (nuts per ounce), representing the largest commercial class in Iran. The natural split rate for handpicked grades exceeds 95%, with shell closures and blank nuts reduced to near zero. Advanced laser sorting machines eliminate un-split shells, discolored nuts, or physical defects prior to roasting, ensuring absolute consignment uniformity.

All export consignments undergo rigorous chemical and microbiological testing in accredited partner laboratories. Aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxin levels are guaranteed to comply with destination specifications (e.g., below 2 ppb for EU strict limits). Required documentation—including Phytosanitary Certificates, Certificate of Analysis (COA), Certificate of Origin, and Halal Certification—is issued alongside official customs clearance paperwork.

Roasting is performed using automated hot-air convection ovens with strict temperature profiles to achieve ideal crispness without charring or discoloration. Food-grade refined salt content is maintained between 1.5% and 2.5%. Customized salting profiles (low sodium, standard salt, or extra salt) and premium seasonings (such as pure saffron or lemon juice) can be formulated for bulk OEM contracts exceeding 2 metric tons.

Parlan roasted and salted Akbari pistachios retain optimal quality for 12 months when preserved in barrier vacuum bags or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). The ideal ambient storage condition is between 10°C and 15°C with relative humidity below 50%. Cold storage warehousing (below 5°C) extends product shelf life to 18 months without rancidity, lipid oxidation, or flavor degradation.
