Premium laser-sorted raw sweet almond kernels from Romanta featuring light brown skin, bold uniform caliber, rich oil content, and zero bitter kernels for nuts and chocolate lines.
FAQ
Almonds are sourced exclusively from contracted sweet-cultivar orchards (principally Mamra and grafted sweet stone types), avoiding wild groves. QA laboratory technicians perform randomized sensory assays and chromatographic screenings for amygdalin cyanogenic glycosides on every consignment, certifying zero bitter almond contamination with a 99.9% statistical confidence level.
Kernels are calibrated across mechanical slotted screens and classified based on standardized piece-counts per 100 grams. Core grades include 100-110 count (Jumbo), 110-120 count (Standard Bold), and 120-140 count (Medium). Size uniformity exceeds 95% per package, with deformed twin-kernels (doubles) systematically removed.
Moisture content is strictly stabilized below 5.5% (typically 3.5% to 5.0%) to retain natural crunch and arrest enzymatic deterioration. Cold storage below 15°C in absolute darkness maintains the peroxide value below 2.0 meq/kg, preventing rancidity and oxidation of the high monounsaturated oil content.
The standard industrial MOQ is 1,000kg (40 laminated sacks of 25kg or 100 vacuum cartons of 10kg). International export accounts are loaded as full 20ft container loads (approx. 20 to 22 metric tons on shrink-wrapped pallets).
All raw almond lots undergo HPLC chromatography testing for Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2), fully complying with national and European import limits. A formal Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering free fatty acids, peroxide value, moisture, and physical purity is provided alongside IFDA health permits.
The 25kg packaging utilizes high-density woven polypropylene with an outer moisture-resistant laminate and reinforced double chain stitching, insulating the cargo from ambient marine moisture and odors. Export cartons feature 5-ply heavy-duty corrugated board with thick food-grade internal vacuum liners, supporting pallet stacking up to 1.8 meters.
Buyers submit volume inquiries to receive official real-time proforma invoices. Orders exceeding 5 metric tons unlock tiered cash discounts, while contracted food processors and export houses can access phased delivery schedules backed by 30 to 60-day credit facilities against verified bank guarantees.
