Parlan Akbari Pistachios

Akbari boasts the lowest ounce count (largest kernel size) among all cultivars, typically supplied in jumbo 20/22 and 22/24 sizes. Its pronounced elliptical length, wide natural shell split, and distinctive pointed apex define its elite commercial identity.

Akbari trees are exceptionally climate-sensitive and represent the latest-maturing cultivar, yielding smaller overall harvests. The scarcity of these jumbo sizes coupled with intense demand across luxury gifting markets drives its top-tier pricing.

Thanks to an extended maturation cycle, the kernel-to-shell weight ratio reaches approximately 52% to 54%. The kernel completely fills the shell cavity, with blind or hollow nuts virtually eradicated after optical grading.

This grade is predominantly packed in heavy-duty 5-ply cartons enclosing nitrogen-flushed or moderate-vacuum inner pouches, mitigating inter-kernel friction and shell abrasion during multimodal freight.

Parlan provides turnkey packaging in sealed glass jars, metallic gift canisters, and windowed kraft zipper pouches (200 g, 400 g, 800 g) adorned with the client's bespoke multilingual branding.

Consignments receive professional phosphine or methyl bromide treatment under licensed supervision, accompanied by an official Fumigation Certificate guaranteeing absolute absence of live insects, larvae, or borers.

Buyers can commission accredited surveyors (such as SGS or Bureau Veritas) to inspect warehouses prior to sealing. Random sampling adheres to ISO standards, with container seals affixed in the inspector's presence.
