Overview
Cashew nut wholesaler: a complete W240 range for trade buyers
Palimex is a B2B food wholesaler active since 1984, based at the Rungis wholesale market and in Bordeaux, specialising in dried fruit, dehydrated fruit, spices and olives for food professionals. Cashew nuts are available in every form: raw, plain roasted, salted with Guérande salt, or seasoned (truffle, saffron, wasabi, Cambray black garlic, curry-chilli). The W240 grade is the size foodservice buyers ask for because of its visual consistency: whole, even nuts that look as good in a bar snack bowl as in a plated garnish.
This breadth lets a restaurant, caterer or delicatessen cover every cashew use from a single supplier: bar snacks, dish garnishes, muesli, pastry and salads, under the Meyva, As de la Truffe and Snack'apéritif brands listed at Palimex. To compare W240 with W320 before settling on your reference, read our article W320 vs W240 cashew nuts: which grade for your business?.
Bulk cashew formats and packaging
Palimex cashews come in several formats so that each outlet can match its actual consumption volume, from the bar counter to high-turnover contract catering.
| Format | Example pack size | Buyer profile |
|---|---|---|
| Snack bag / case | 200 g (case of 12), 20x50 g | Bar counters, quick service |
| Bulk bucket | 4 kg / 5 kg | Daily service, contract catering |
| Premium bucket | 2.5 kg (truffle and Guérande fleur de sel) | Cocktail bars, upmarket caterers |
| Luxury jar | 90 g / 175 g (truffle, saffron) | Delicatessens, slow-moving retail |
| Bulk case | 22.68 kg | Processors, pastry kitchens, heavy users |
This spread supports stock management matched to real turnover, from the single bag used for an occasional service to the bulk bucket built for daily use, up to the 22.68 kg case of raw W240 cashews for workshops that roast or process in-house.
Allergens, traceability and storage
Cashew nuts are one of the tree nuts that must be declared as allergens: Annex II of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers names them explicitly among substances causing allergies or intolerances. For a restaurant or caterer, this means flagging them on menus, in the allergen register and on product labels, even when cashew is only a minor ingredient in a sauce or topping.
As with the whole Palimex catalogue, cashews are delivered with lot traceability and a clearly stated best-before date, two prerequisites of an HACCP approach in a professional kitchen. Store them away from light, moisture and heat, in an airtight container once opened, to preserve texture and flavour until the best-before date. Our guide Cashew nuts for professionals: sizing, sourcing and storage covers storage good practice in detail.
A cashew already salted with Guérande salt does not need reseasoning in the kitchen: the result always comes out too strong in hot service. We remind our customers of this often, and it is a useful rule of thumb for both front-of-house and kitchen teams.
Choosing the right cashew for your business
The right format and reference depend directly on the buyer's type of business:
- Traditional restaurants: W240 grade, raw or unsalted roasted, in 4-5 kg buckets for daily use.
- Bar counters and snack points: 200 g bags or cases, which turn over better than poorly portioned loose product in busy outlets.
- Delicatessens and gourmet gifts: 90 g or 175 g luxury jars (truffle, saffron, Guérande fleur de sel), for slower turnover with higher added value.
- Pastry chefs, processors and heavy users: 22.68 kg bulk case of raw nuts, to keep the logistics cost per kilo down.
This bulk sourcing approach covers daily kitchen use as well as event or premium formats without multiplying suppliers. We recommend starting with a raw W240 reference for the kitchen and a seasoned reference for the counter, then adjusting to the turnover you observe over the first weeks.
Ordering, delivery and dedicated trade service
Access to the cashew range, as to the whole Palimex catalogue, is reserved for businesses holding a SIRET number. Bulk orders ship in professional formats, and delivery is available by pallet or carriage paid, to optimise logistics cost relative to the volume ordered. Our teams also welcome you at Rungis, Monday to Thursday from 6:30 am to 2:30 pm and Friday from 6:30 am to 1:30 pm, and at the Bordeaux Lac cash & carry.
For a professional kitchen, the cost of running out of such a recognisable bar snack as cashews far exceeds its purchase price: an empty counter on a busy night, a last-minute swap for a lesser product, or an urgent order at a worse price. Consolidating cashew supply with a single wholesaler, with clear order thresholds, reduces that operational risk and simplifies purchase tracking on one trade account.
