Kosher certification for nuts and almonds from Spain
Spain is one of the world’s major almond origins, and many international buyers ask for a kosher certificate with every lot. We make that easy for processors.
In short
Raw nuts carry a low kosher risk. What is reviewed is the processing: roasting and frying (oils and equipment), coatings, flavourings, salt and lines shared with other products. Almonds and almond derivatives are in high demand for Passover.
What we certify
- Whole, sliced, diced and ground almonds
- Almond flour, paste and marzipan
- Hazelnuts, pistachios, walnuts, cashews
- Roasted, fried and salted nuts
- Spreads and pralines
- Mixes and snacks
What we review in your plant
Coatings and flavours
Flavourings, sugars, gums, emulsifiers and any dairy ingredient that changes the product’s status.
Shared lines
Cleaning between runs and separation from dairy products or ingredients of animal origin.
Lot traceability
Clear identification of certified lots, which nut importers often require.
Markets
Who will ask you for it
Nuts are largely sold as an ingredient to bakeries, chocolate makers and snack manufacturers abroad. Those buyers usually need the certificate to keep their own kosher certification.
Passover
Passover production
Almonds are not chametz and are a key ingredient in Passover baking. Producing for Passover involves extra requirements for equipment, cleaning and supervision, and we offer it as a dedicated certificate.
More about PassoverSector questions
Do raw almonds need a kosher certificate?
Although the risk is low, many buyers still require a certificate or kosher letter for their own supply chain. The certificate also covers the processing: blanching, slicing, roasting or milling.
Can you certify only some of our products?
Yes. The certificate lists exactly which products and plants are covered. You can start with the items your customers ask for and add more later.
