Korosho: From Tanzanian Fields to Your Snack Bowl

Founded in 2021, Korosho is a German brand offering a delicious range of cashew-based products and breaking new ground in the cashew industry. If you're someone who wants to enjoy delicious snacks without sacrificing your values, or if you're passionate about vegan alternatives, then Korosho is a name you need to know. The brand is all about cashews, and they're not just any cashews – they're probably the tastiest and largest cashews in Germany.
 

The Origin Story

Korosho's journey begins in Tanzania, specifically on the Makonde Plateau, a region with the ideal tropical climate for growing cashews. With year-round temperatures ranging from 15 to 33 degrees Celsius and ample rainfall, these cashews grow exceptionally large and tasty. Known for its breathtaking scenery, Tanzania is also the 6th largest country in the world producing cashews. However, much of the harvest traditionally goes raw to Asia for processing, robbing Tanzanians of jobs and contributing to unnecessary CO2 emissions. Korosho aims to change that.

Supporting Small Farming Tradition

Instead of relying on large plantations, Korosho sources their cashews directly from numerous small farming families, supporting a long-standing tradition in the Makonde region. By purchasing directly from these farmers, Korosho helps to maintain local communities and eliminates intermediaries.

Sustainable Practices

Korosho's commitment to sustainability extends to every aspect of its operations. Local small businesses handle packaging, storage, and transportation, minimizing their carbon footprint. Unlike most other African cashews, which are processed in Southeast Asia, Korosho's local base allows them to transport cashews directly to Europe.

Plastic-Free Packaging

One of Korosho's outstanding features is their 100% plastic-free paper-based snack packaging. After enjoying your cashews, you can throw the packaging in the waste bin for complete recycling.

Quality Assurance

Korosho guarantees the highest quality at every step of their production process. From the careful selection of cashew kernels to rigorous quality control, they ensure that their cashews meet the highest standards.

Spreading Joy

Korosho's impact reaches far and wide. Their commitment to fair prices for farmers, stable employment, and fair wages for workers, creates a network of happiness that extends from their local partners to customers worldwide.
