Persian Pistachios
Premium Persian Pistachios: The Global Standard for Taste and Quality
Renowned worldwide for their rich flavor, exceptional meat-to-shell ratio, and high roasting tolerance, Persian Pistachios are a premium choice for the global food industry. At Hober Tejarat Pasargad, we supply top-tier pistachios sourced directly from the finest orchards in Iran. Whether you are a wholesale nut distributor, a premium snack brand, or a large-scale confectionery manufacturer, we provide a consistent, high-quality supply of both in-shell pistachios and premium green kernels, tailored to your exact specifications.
Our Commercial Pistachio Varieties
We offer a complete range of Iranian pistachio varieties, carefully sorted by size (ounce/oz) and quality parameters to meet diverse market demands:
1. Akbari (Super Long)
The most luxurious and elongated variety of Persian pistachios. Known for its high economic value, large size, and easy-to-open shell, Akbari is the preferred choice for premium nut mixes and high-end retail markets.
2. Ahmad Aghaei (Long)
Highly popular in global markets due to its excellent taste and exceptionally white shell. Ahmad Aghaei strikes a perfect balance between size and flavor, making it a favorite for roasting and salting in Europe and Asia.
3. Kalleh Ghouchi (Jumbo)
Distinctive for its large, hazelnut-like shape and broad opening. Kalleh Ghouchi offers a high kernel yield and a robust, earthy flavor, making it an excellent choice for both direct consumption and food processing.
4. Fandoghi (Round)
The most widely cultivated and cost-effective variety. Its round shape and smaller size mean more nuts per kilogram. Fandoghi is the industry standard for bulk roasting, flavoring, and mass-market retail.
5. Pistachio Kernels & Green Peeled Pistachio Kernels (GPPK)
We supply raw and roasted kernels, as well as the highly sought-after Green Peeled Kernels (categorized by color grades S, A, B, C, D). These are essential ingredients for luxury confectioneries (baklava, gelato), chocolate manufacturing, and the culinary meat industry.
Quality Assurance & Export Standards
- Strict Aflatoxin Control: Food safety is our priority. All our pistachios undergo rigorous laboratory testing by international agencies (like SGS) to ensure Aflatoxin levels strictly comply with the destination country’s regulations, including the stringent EU standards.
- Advanced Sorting & Processing: Our processing facilities utilize advanced laser and color-sorting technologies to ensure maximum uniformity, minimize closed shells, and eliminate foreign matter.
- Optimized B2B Packaging: We offer flexible packaging solutions to preserve freshness and prevent oxidation. Options include 25kg/50kg double-layer PP bags for in-shell pistachios, and 10kg/12.5kg vacuum-packed cartons specifically designed for premium kernels.

Common inquiries from our international Persian Pistachios buyers:
Do you supply raw or roasted pistachios?
For international wholesale, we primarily export raw, dried pistachios to preserve their shelf life and allow buyers to roast them according to local market tastes. However, we can accommodate custom roasting and salting requests for large, contract-based orders.
How do you handle Aflatoxin certification for European buyers?
We work exclusively with ISO-certified laboratories. For European destinations, we prepare the cargo according to EU standard limits (B1 and Total Aflatoxin). A Health Certificate and a comprehensive lab analysis report accompany the shipping documents.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for shipping?
Our standard MOQ for maritime freight is one 20-foot container (FCL), which holds approximately 12 to 15 metric tons depending on the packaging. For high-value items like Green Peeled Kernels, we can arrange smaller LCL shipments or air freight starting from 1 metric ton.
