The Longest Pistachio in Iran

Long Akbari stands as Iran's most distinguished pistachio variety — unmatched in length among all cultivated types. Its slender profile, naturally wide split, and rich, complex kernel flavour have earned it a reputation as the benchmark for premium export-grade nuts.

Grown in the pistachio-producing regions of Kerman Province, Akbari trees require more careful cultivation than other varieties, resulting in a lower yield but a distinctly superior, sought-after nut.

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

Shell & Processing Options

Long Akbari 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 — Akbari's signature trait, occurring more consistently than in any other variety due to its slender profile. The benchmark for premium retail presentation.

Open Shell includes two sub-grades: Natural Open (split on the tree, occurring more consistently in Akbari than any other variety) 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 Akbari's rich, complex kernel flavour. Preferred by processors who apply their own treatment.

Roasted

Dry-roasted at controlled temperatures to deepen Akbari's naturally rich, complex flavour with a warm, toasted finish. 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 Akbari's natural depth of flavour with a perfectly seasoned finish.
