Spices and nuts

From spice routes to global markets

The modern history of globalization begins with the global trade of spices. Initially, spices like pepper, nutmeg, cumin and coriander and ingredients such as desiccated coconut, were rare delicacies only accessible to the rich. But today, consumers almost anywhere in the world can have access to a vast range of healthy and tasty spices and nuts. There is no generation in history that had access to a diet as varied in flavours and culinary traditions as ours – an achievement that Acomo is proud to play a part in.

Have you ever considered how a cashew grows and ends up in your bowl of mixed nuts?

From plant to harvest

Nuts grow in diverse ways across the globe – from cashews as single nuts on tropical trees, to almonds in Mediterranean orchards and peanuts beneath the soil. Each requires specific growing conditions and harvesting methods perfected over generations.

From shell to kernel

Raw nuts undergo careful extraction, cleaning, and sorting processes tailored to each variety. Whether removing caustic cashew shells or cracking hard almond shells, this complex processing requires specialized knowledge and equipment. The nuts are then cleaned, sorted and often roasted before being packed.

From origin to your bowl

Through global networks spanning sourcing, trading and blending, these premium kernels and spices are combined with other nuts, rice crackers and dried fruits, packaged and delivered to create your perfect snack mix or spice blend – each contributing its unique flavor, texture and nutritional benefits.
