Why PEZTEH exists
Nut all pistachios are created equal
Color · Size · Maturity · Shape · Uniformity
What appears to be a simple pistachio kernel is the result of cultivar, orchard, harvest timing, processing, sorting and selection. PEZTEH exists to control those differences.
The product
The difference is measurable
Pistachio kernel is not a single, uniform product.
Commercial performance changes with cultivar, harvest maturity, skin removal, green intensity, size, shape, whole-kernel percentage, defect level, treatment and packing. PEZTEH organizes these variables into a clear specification system.
Early-picked kernel
Crop- and application-led selection for distinctive color and character.
Natural kernel
Mature, skin-on kernel considered for specific cultivar and customer requirements.
Specified, not described
Quality becomes useful when it can be measured
Color & uniformity
Approved references, defined color bands and a clear tolerance for off-color kernels.
Size & form
Kernel count per 100 g, average weight, dimensional range and whole-kernel percentage.
Physical quality
Written definitions for broken kernels, residual skin, moisture, defects and foreign material.
Food safety
Lot-specific aflatoxin, microbiology, residue and market-required testing documentation.
Single-source traceability
We do not want the kernel to become anonymous
For each defined order, our preferred sourcing protocol begins with one documented farm or one controlled agricultural source lot. This improves traceability and lowers avoidable variability without replacing representative sampling and laboratory testing.
Farm or defined source lotOrigin, crop year and harvest identity.
Raw material intakeCondition, source reference and segregation.
Processing lotShelling, peeling, sorting and grade controls.
Laboratory sampleRepresentative sampling and linked results.
Packing & shipmentLot-coded packs and commercial release.
From orchard to kernel
Every step has a purpose
The process is designed around a defined target: the color, size, integrity, safety profile and packing performance the buyer actually needs.
Source selection
Screened for suitability, traceability and crop condition.
Harvest maturity
Selected for the target color, size and yield profile.
Peeling & sorting
Skin removal followed by color, size and integrity grading.
Testing
Representative sampling and agreed laboratory analysis.
Pack & release
Lot-coded packing against the technical checklist.
Quality & food safety
Premium means beautiful, safe and repeatable
Beauty
Natural green color, controlled size, whole-kernel integrity, low defects and clean appearance.
Safety
Traceable lots, representative sampling, laboratory testing, contaminant control and documented release.
Consistency
The approved sample and delivered lot should align, with repeat orders remaining inside the agreed specification.

Premium applications
Use PEZTEH when the kernel itself creates value
PEZTEH is for products where the customer can see or experience the premium kernel—not for applications where appearance and uniformity disappear.

“We would rather go deeper into pistachio than present a catalogue of products we do not know with the same depth.”
