Chocolate Coating
Our artisan methods of coating nuts, fruits and confectionery is done by using the highest quality of chocolate.
Panning
The art of chocolate panning involves the creation of a layer of chocolate surrounding the centre, which is then dusted or polished to a gloss finish. This is created, by slowly pouring chocolate over the centres in a tumbling coating pan.
Enrobing
We also offer enrobing, through a chocolate waterfall of milk or dark chocolate. A second layer of premium chocolate is applied evenly after the panning process and a decorative swirl brings the finishing touches to our nut confectionery, before it is packed into trays or flow wraps.
Flavour Coating
With our unique flavouring capabilities we can tailor our product development to help you create inspirational food ingredients.
Our nuts are batch-roasted and then flavoured in rotary drums by either caramelising or coating with high grade macadamia oil. Our expert roasters season the base with bespoke flavours to create unique on-trend flavour sensations.

Roasting
Coated & roasted nuts are ideal for applications in ice cream, confectionery, baking, cereal and chocolate manufacturing. We offer two roasting processes in our facilities – dry roasting and caramelised roasting.
By carefully dry roasting our premium whole nuts, we bring out the delicate bouquet of flavours that sets our product apart.
Our caramelised roasting process is capable of flavour roasting sliced, diced and nut pieces. This unique roasting process roasts the nuts until the onset of flavour development. The coating on the nuts provides a crunchy, roasted texture. The coating ensures a free-flowing product that can be mechanically dosed and is durable throughout shelf life as a component in your final product.
