Our Process
The Many steps we take to prepare our cashews
Step 1: Local Harvest
We source from local farmers in southern Vietnam where cashew trees thrive in the tropical climate. Vietnamese cashews are renown worldwide for their naturally sweet flavor and high quality.
Step 2: Steam
Cashews naturally grow on a tree within an inedible shell that needs to be removed before consumption. After harvest, we must steam the freshly picked cashews to hardened these outer shells.
Step 3: Hand Sort by Grade
Raw cashews are graded by shape, size and color. After removing the shells, we hand sort and select the HIGHEST grades of cashews to go into the roasting process. Hand selecting the highest quality ingredients leads to a drastically higher quality final product which you will only find in Caju cashews.
Step 4: Wood-fire Roasting
We fuel our ovens with repurposed coffee trees sourced from local coffee farmers, then add two simple ingredients - raw cashews and sea salt. Nothing else. At the end of the process, we even remove all of the sea salt so that it does not stick to the cashews and overwhelm the flavor. The wood-fire roasting is our favorite part of the process because it gives the cashews their distinct crunch and taste.
Step 5: De-skin and Package
Finally, the cashews are deskinned, carefully placed into our packaging, and are ready for consumption! The amount of meticulous manual labor put into making this premium product is what makes it so special. The picking, deshelling, sorting and roasting are all done by hand and are important steps towards our goal of redefining how the world perceives the cashew.
