Refined Elegance in Every Shell

The Long Ahmad Aghaei is one of Iran's most commercially important pistachio varieties. Its elongated shape, thin shell, and characteristically mild, sweet kernel have made it a staple in European confectionery and East Asian specialty food markets.

Grown across the premium pistachio-producing regions of Kerman Province, this variety produces a high split ratio and naturally uniform sizing — making it ideal for both premium retail and food-grade processing.

In addition to in-shell forms, Long Ahmad Aghaei is also available as raw kernels, roasted, and salted & roasted — covering retail, foodservice, and industrial channels.

Shell & Processing Options

Long Ahmad Aghaei is available in three shell configurations. Open Shell is offered as both Natural and Mechanical forms.

Open ShellNatural Open

The shell splits naturally during ripening on the tree — the most prized form, indicating full maturity and peak kernel development. Highly valued in premium retail markets.

Open Shell includes two sub-grades: Natural Open (split on the tree) and Mechanical Open (machine-split post-harvest). Both available on request.

Three Preparation Forms

Available across all shell configurations — raw, dry-roasted, or salted and roasted.

Raw

Unprocessed in natural state. Preserves the full nutritional profile and the Ahmad Aghaei's signature mild sweetness. Preferred by processors who apply their own treatment.

Roasted

Dry-roasted at controlled temperatures to enhance the Ahmad Aghaei's naturally delicate flavour with a warm, toasted depth. No oils or additives. Available in all shell forms.

Salted & Roasted

Roasted and finished with a fine salt coating. The most popular retail-ready form worldwide. Balances the Ahmad Aghaei's mild sweetness with a perfectly seasoned finish.
