Virgin Nuts @ PLMA’s New Product Expo

We're honoured and pleased that the #PLMA committee selected three Virgin Nuts products to be displayed in the #NewProductExpo during #PLMA2022.

Seeing is believing, but tasting is even better... therefore we welcome you to visit us in Europa Complex / Hall 7, stand F-7355 and taste our delicious Caramelised cacao nut mix, Caramelised liquorice almonds and Caramelised speculoos almonds.

Looking forward to seeing you on 31 May or 1 June next at the RAI Exhibition Centre in Amsterdam (NL).

#WorldBeeDay 2022: We need bees

Virgin Nuts is well-known for #absolutelydelicious #honeycoated nuts, seeds and cereals. We owe the sweet, syrup-like food substance, produced from the nectar of flowering plants, to very important and hard-working little pollinators: #bees.

To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, the United Nations designated 20 May as #WorldBeeDay.

Without bees, our food security, biodiversity and ecosystems are at risk. So not only for the honey, but for our whole livelihood: we need bees!

Chunky peanut butter almonds

Yeah, we have something new again! Besides producing crunchy caramelised diced peanuts and almonds as an ingredient for peanut butter, we have recently developed a similar but still surprisingly different product: caramelised almonds covered in creamy peanut butter... Simply #loveatfirstbite!

This addictive and super tasty new snack is produced in our main building of course, because obviously we have a zero tolerance for peanuts and derivatives in our #peanutfree facility.

Did you know...

that all our products are vegetarian and – as long as you do not choose #honeycoatednutsseedsandcereals – our products are vegan too? Well, now you know 😉

So, if you want to serve all your customers, including the growing population that prefers a #vegetarian #vegan #flexitarian #kosher diet, contact us for more information on our #absolutelydelicious #loveatfirstbite caramelised and dry roasted seasoned nuts.

Let's Celebrate

On the 27th of April it’s #KingsDay in The Netherlands. It’s the biggest and best national event of the year with huge celebrations in orange coloured streets, music festivals, bulging bars and terraces. And after 2 years of celebrating at home, we will make it extra cozy – typically Dutch 'gezellig' – this year.

It promises to be a sunny day, so let's light the BBQ. No (time to) BBQ? Enjoy your drinks while snacking Virgin Nuts dry roasted BBQ chili nuts, especially today a typical Dutch snack thanks to the #orange colour (and we know you can buy them at various well-known places 😉). Happy King's Day!

Happy Earth Day

April 22 is #EarthDay. The day to honour our beautiful earth. Activities and campaigns are organized worldwide to do something good for our planet. Like the Trees for All initiative to donate trees. With this gift you contribute to a better climate, more biodiversity and healthy living conditions for everyone.

While producing our #absolutelydelicious #sweetcoatednuts and #dryroastedseasonednuts, #seeds and #cereals, unavoidably CO2 is emitted. To fulfil our mission to contribute to a green and healthier earth, we reduce our CO2-emissions to the max. By supporting Trees for All sustainable forestry projects in NL and abroad, we aim to offset for the rest.

Join us in celebrating Earth Day and donate trees to the earth.

Delicious sweet coated pecans

14 April = #NationalPecanDay, a day to honour the only nut tree native to North America. And how we are grateful for this tree, for it delivers one of the most delicious nuts in the world. With our #100%natural and famous #sweetcoating, we make these nuts (in fact, pecans are a fruit rather than a nut) even more #loveatfirstbite.

With their sweet nutty flavour and buttery touch, pecans combine deliciously with sweet and fragrant flavours. Think honey lavender pecans, gingerbread pecans, cinnamon sea salt pecans, maple pecans (oh, how this is a #matchmadeinheaven), etc.

We produce pecans as #snacknuts, but – in pieces – also as an #ingredient for the #foodindustry, like #chocolate, #icecream, #bakery products, breakfast #cereals, etc. Contact us for more information about the endless possibilities.

BRCGS Food Safety AA-level certified

Yesss! For the 14th year in a row, we’ve passed our annual BRCGS Food Safety audit with glance and again the highest AA-level is achieved.

Our BRCGS certificate, a leading recognition, shows that the Virgin Nuts production facilities (including our peanut free facility) meet all food safety (incl. food defense and food fraud prevention) requirements set by the British Retail Consortium (BRCGS).

The BRCGS certificate is recognized by the GFSI, the worldwide partnership of retailers.

Skal (organic) certificate prolonged

We're proud and pleased to share that we've passed the periodic control and that our organic certificate from Skal Biocontrole has been prolonged.

During this year more and more of our conventional products will also be available as organic. At this moment, our #biocertificate is especially interesting for the food industry (#organicchocolate, #organicicecream, #organiccereals, etc.).

It takes just a few steps

It takes just a few steps to create the perfect snack (mix) for your customers. Before we guide you through the steps, it’s important to know that we only work with #100%natural ingredients.

Here it goes: of course it starts with the selection of nuts, seeds and/or cereals and if you want a sweet caramelised or savoury dry roasted product.

Go sweet? We can combine the sugar coating with a delicious base flavour and/or herbs/spices. Think #loveatfirstbite combinations like honey rosemary almonds, maple sea salt pecans, caramelised chili cashews, etc.

Prefer savoury over sweet? Make your selection of herbs/spices and we create #absolutelydelicious dry roasted (so, no added oils 😊) snacks for you. For instance dry roasted BBQ chili cashews, dry roasted wasabi peanuts, etc.

Last but not least, we can mix our produced products with dried fruit or other ingredients of your choice to create the perfect snack mix for your customers.

Picture this...

Crunchy sprouted roasted sunflower kernels and pumpkin seeds with a dash of sugar and a splash of tangy vinegar topped with the best sea salt. If that doesn’t make an uplifting offering for your customers’ salads and greens... 😋

The combination of classic and inseparable flavours of sea salt and vinegar is many people’s favourite. We offer #highfiber and #sourceofprotein seed mixes in various #100%natural flavours for snacking, lunchboxes, salad toppings, etc., like #honeychili, #honeycinnamon, #seasaltcoconut, etc. This classic simple seasoning of #saltandvinegar is our absolutely favourite on a green salad or mixed with blanched haricots verts.

So, no more valid excuses for I don’t like vegetables 😉. Everyone loves vegetables, especially if they’re enriched with our #absolutelydelicious crunchy #seedmixes. And that also benefits the sale of salads and greens... Picture that.
