Tavazo Super Akbari Long Pistachio

Super Akbari boasts an elongated kernel profile exceeding 12 to 14 mm in length with a density caliber of 20-22 nuts per ounce, outranking any other global variety in mass. Its almond-like symmetry, ease of manual shell separation, and exposed vivid purple kernel maximize retail shelf value across luxury GCC and European outlets.

Roasting occurs inside rotary stainless-steel drums using convection heating, where an aqueous extract of pure Ghaenat Sargol saffron and vacuum-purified sea salt is mist-sprayed across the kernels. Absolutely no tartrazine, synthetic yellow dyes, or starch binders are utilized, as confirmed by batch-specific COAs.

Prior to loading, every batch is verified via HPLC protocols, ensuring total aflatoxin remains below 10 ppb (and sub-4 ppb for specific EU destination requirements). Optical sorting guarantees the total absence of Aspergillus flavus contamination across all inspected lots.

Export master cartons feature heavy-duty 5-ply fluting holding two 5 kg or one 10 kg vacuum pouch (dimensions 40x30x20 cm). Standard industrial pallets (120x100 cm) accommodate 64 to 72 cartons, achieving a net product payload of 640 kg to 720 kg per pallet.

In this super-luxury selection, closed-mouth nuts are held below 0.5%, and mechanically opened (water-cracked) nuts are strictly 0.0%. Every single shell has split naturally on the tree branch, guaranteeing full kernel weight and optimum volatile lipid integrity.

The baseline MOQ for Super Akbari is 500 kg for consolidated orders and 2 metric tons for standalone orders. Lead time for fresh batch roasting, sorting, nitrogen packing, and port dispatch for a 20ft FCL (12 to 14 metric tons) spans 10 to 14 business days from financial confirmation.

The crimson kernel hull color is derived from delicate anthocyanin pigments susceptible to photo-oxidation. Metallized foil bags and light-impermeable lithographed tins backflushed with nitrogen protect these polyphenols, locking in the vibrant color and crunch for 18 months below 18°C.
