Java / Spanish Peanuts

45/55, 60/70 & 70/80 counts for confectionery

CBIL supplies Java and Spanish-type peanut kernels in 45/55, 60/70 and 70/80 counts per ounce — the small, round, thin-skinned kernel that confectionery buyers specify when the nut is coated, panned or bound into a bar. Java runs sweeter and higher in oil than Runner material, typically 48–50%, which is exactly why crushers and chikki, brittle and coated-nut manufacturers reach for it, and equally why it needs tighter moisture control at ≤ 8% to hold shelf life. The counts do real work here: 45/55 is the bold end used where a visible nut still matters, 60/70 is the volume grade for coating and inclusion, and 70/80 is the small kernel that suits crushing and paste. Skin colour and uniformity are graded because they carry through a coating line in a way they never do in a butter line.

A buyer picks Java over Bold/Runner when kernel sweetness, thin skin and a tight small-count profile matter more than kernel size, and when the nut is going into a coated or confectionery format rather than being sold whole and salted. Aflatoxin governs entry: EU destinations run to the 4 ppb total limit under Regulation (EC) 1881/2006, while much of the rest of the world works to roughly 15 ppb — lots are screened and selected at origin to whichever regime applies. Every lot carries SGS or Intertek certification of count, moisture, aflatoxin, oil content, admixture and splits, with phytosanitary and fumigation documentation. We arrange 25kg and 50kg jute or PP bags and vacuum-packed cartons, container-load, on FOB, CFR and CIF terms.
