Quality & specification

Nuts graded
the way buyers specify them.

With nuts, aflatoxin and rancidity decide whether a container clears the EU border and reaches the shelf in grade. Before a lot is confirmed we align origin, size, defect tolerance, moisture and packaging with your specification sheet — and document it on the certificate of analysis that travels with the goods.

  • Aflatoxin & food-safety complianceEvery lot sampled and tested for aflatoxin B1 / total against EU 2023/915 limits, plus pesticide residues, Salmonella and heavy metals; accredited lab reports supplied with the shipment.
  • Grade, size & moistureSizes and counts confirmed by sample; moisture typically 4–6%, free fatty acid and peroxide value checked to avoid rancidity; laser-sorted and metal-detected.
  • Packaging to your line10–25 kg cartons with PE liner, vacuum or nitrogen-flushed bags for kernels, 50 lb / 22.68 kg cashew boxes, big bags for in-shell, or retail-ready packs under your label.

Who we supply

Bulk nuts and kernels for every channel.

A roaster, a chocolate maker and a supermarket buyer specify the same almond differently. These are the four channels we serve most.

Retail & Private Label

Consumer packs of raw and roasted nuts, mixed-nut blends and in-shell pistachios for supermarkets, discounters and ethnic retail — labelled to your artwork.

Bakery & Confectionery

Blanched almonds, sliced and diced hazelnuts, green pistachio kernels, walnut pieces and nut pastes sized for dough lines, enrobing and inclusions.

Roasters & Snack Producers

Raw kernels with consistent size and moisture for roasting, salting, coating and flavouring lines; fixed-recipe mixes for trail mix and cereal.

Nut Butter & Plant-Based

Almonds, cashews and hazelnuts for nut butters, plant-based milks and spreads — lower grades and pieces priced for processing, with full traceability.

Sourcing & logistics

From the orchard to Rotterdam
and on to your warehouse.

We buy directly from hullers, shellers and processors in Iran, Türkiye, the USA, Chile, Vietnam, India and West Africa, and consolidate through the Port of Rotterdam — Europe's largest food-import gateway with dedicated nut inspection facilities. One supplier, one set of documents and one delivery, however many origins are in the container.

  • Flexible IncotermsEXW, FCA, CIF, DAP or DDP — quoted per shipment so the price is comparable with your other offers.
  • Complete documentationPhytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, aflatoxin analysis, CoA, fumigation certificate and Organic / Halal / Kosher certification where applicable; border-control (BCP) inspection handled by us.
  • Seasonal planningNew-crop contracts placed around the August–October harvests (almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, walnuts) so your programme is covered before prices move.

Buyer questions

Nuts & kernels wholesale — frequently asked.

What is the minimum order quantity for bulk nuts?

For most products the practical minimum is one pallet (around 500–1,000 kg) per item, which can be combined with other Plusimpex products into a mixed container. Full container loads (FCL, roughly 16–20 t of kernels) receive the most competitive pricing.

Which origins do you source nuts from?

Almonds from the USA, Spain and Iran; pistachios from Iran, the USA and Türkiye; walnuts from the USA, Chile, Ukraine and Iran; cashews from Vietnam, India and West Africa; hazelnuts from Türkiye, Italy and Azerbaijan. Origin and variety are always stated on the offer and on the documents.

How do you handle aflatoxin testing and EU border controls?

Every lot is tested for aflatoxin at origin and, for high-risk origins, again on arrival by an accredited EU laboratory. We manage the pre-notification and border-control-post inspection in Rotterdam so the goods are released and delivered cleared.

Can you supply roasted, blanched, sliced or diced nuts?

Yes. Roasting, salting, blanching, slicing, dicing, slivering and milling are available for almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, pistachios and walnuts, either at origin or at partner processors in Europe. Tell us the size, roast level and packaging your line needs.

How should nuts be stored and how long do they keep?

Kernels are best held cool (below 15 °C), dry and away from light, ideally vacuum or nitrogen-packed; under those conditions most keep 12 months. In-shell nuts and pistachios store longer. Walnuts and pine nuts are the most sensitive to rancidity and should be stocked to sell within 6–9 months. See our storage guides.

Do you deliver outside the Netherlands?

Yes — we ship throughout the EU, the UK, Scandinavia and the Middle East. Quotes are given on your preferred Incoterm, and we can arrange transport to your warehouse under DAP or DDP.
