Tavazo Berry Nut Mix

Moisture migration is the primary quality risk in nut-fruit composites. Tavazo standardizes berry hydration to 10%-12% while driving nut kernel moisture below 2%, locking the aggregate Water Activity (aw) below 0.55. This thermodynamic equilibrium suppresses osmotic vapor transfer, guaranteeing crisp nut snap throughout the 9-month shelf life.

No. All berries utilized by Tavazo are strictly SO2-free, free of artificial colorants, free from petroleum-based mineral glazing oils, and free of High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). Soft moisture reduction utilizes gentle apple-juice osmotic infusion, qualifying the SKU as 100% Clean Label for global organic-tier markets.

The mixture undergoes Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) testing in accredited nutritional labs. Powered by blueberry anthocyanins, cranberry proanthocyanidins (PACs), and alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E) from Mamra almonds, the SKU guarantees an ORAC value exceeding 4,500 micromol TE per 100g, officially certified in our Technical Data Sheets.

Due to the tender texture of dried berries and the risk of fruit clumping at elevated temperatures, transit and storage require climate-controlled conditions between 10°C and 15°C and relative humidity below 50%. Maritime consignments in summer are routed exclusively via monitored refrigerated reefer containers.

For retail sectors, Tavazo supplies 200g and 400g kraft stand-up pouches (Doypacks) featuring clear display windows and resealable zippers, alongside crystal-clear cylindrical PET jars with easy-open seals engineered with UV-inhibiting polymers to showcase visual berry-nut color contrasts on supermarket shelves.

Due to the pairing of distinct food matrices (lipidic tree nuts and acidic berries), nuts undergo individual HPLC testing for aflatoxin (sub-4 ppb limits), while dried berries are independently screened for xerophilic molds, osmophilic yeasts, coliforms, and patulin mycotoxins prior to final composite batch COA issuance.

The baseline wholesale MOQ is 50 master cartons (250 kg to 500 kg depending on packaging typology). Utilizing mechanized cold stores for berry inventory and fresh-cracked kernels, Tavazo allocates up to 30 metric tons of monthly processing throughput year-round.
