Brand grading comparison: A+ nuts are approximately 17–20 mm long, with about 1,500 nuts per 500 g and a stated defective-nut rate below 1%.

Pine nuts begin ripening in September. The brand allows an additional 30 days for fuller kernels before harvesting and uses automated sorting to remove some small or defective nuts.

Sourced from high-altitude pine forests in Afghanistan, at approximately 3,000 m, where the pine nuts develop over more than 1,000 days.

Sourced from Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush mountains. Harvested when fully ripe for larger, fuller kernels and a richer nutty aroma.

Flavour notes: fresh pine aroma, caramel-like toasted sweetness and a lingering creamy finish.

Protective packaging includes a screw-top metal lid, an easy-open moisture-resistant foil seal, an oxygen absorber and a rigid transparent jar.
