Cashew roasting line

Footage from the production line where the cashews are roasted.

Vietnam

The production line where the cashews we source are roasted. The footage shows product moving along the line and the roasting stage itself. Roasting is the stage that decides flavour and texture in cashew. When the balance of temperature and time is off, the kernel is either underdone inside or scorched on the surface — and either way it affects the whole lot. This is one reason we look at production processes when assessing a facility: a defect visible in the finished product usually originates here.
