Characteristics

What sets Argentine Peanuts apart

High oleic

A fat profile rich in oleic acid that delays oxidation and extends the shelf life of roasted peanuts and derived products.

Uniform size

Graded by kernels per ounce, from 38/42 to 70/80, so roasting and packing lines run without constant adjustment.

Electronic sorting

Plants with optical and electronic sorting that remove damaged kernels and reduce aflatoxin risk.

World's leading exporter

An origin with volume, continuity and experience in Europe's most demanding markets.

Origin

Córdoba, Argentina
