Cashew Slivers
Organic
Burkina Faso
When cracking and peeling cashews, the individual nuts often break. These cashew slivers are even smaller than our broken cashews. And though this doesn't impact their taste, it does impact their value. Use these little cashew slivers in your cooking or sprinkle them over your salad.
Our organic cashews come from around 3,000 family farmers in the Hauts-Bassins, Sud-Ouest, Cascades and Centre-Ouest regions of Burkina Faso. The families deliver their raw cashews directly to gebana Burkina Faso in Bobo-Dioulasso, where they are shelled, peeled, sorted, and packaged on site in our own factory. Carrying out the entire manufacturing process in Bobo-Dioulasso creates jobs and offers prospects in a country where hardly anyone else invests. We have been operating there since 2001, and our own factory opened its doors in 2006. Between 2021 and 2025, we built a new, larger factory that will create around 1,000 new jobs by 2029. It has been in operation since the end of November 2025.
By processing locally, we avoid unnecessary transport and the transfer of value creation to Vietnam, where the majority of West African cashews are currently processed.

Use & preparation
Storage & shelf life
Store nuts and seeds in a cool, dark place in a tightly closed container. Make sure that the container is as airtight as possible so that moisture is kept away from the nuts. You can also freeze nuts and seeds, which will extend their shelf life by several months.
