Product overview

Nibs cracked and winnowed from the same fermented Sulawesi lots we ship whole, so the cup profile is one you can verify against our bean samples. Supplied ready to use as a bakery or bar inclusion, or as a mill-ready raw material for small chocolate makers who would rather skip roasting and winnowing. Minimum order is 1 MT, the lowest entry point in our processed range.

Roast and winnowing

Beans are roasted to a medium profile that keeps the fruit and cocoa notes of Sulawesi fermentation intact, then cracked and air-winnowed until shell is at or below 1.75%. Fat sits between 50 and 54% and moisture below 3%, which is what keeps nibs crisp rather than leathery. Roast level is adjustable on request, so tell us whether you want brighter acidity or a deeper toasted note.

Applications and buyers

Bakeries and bar makers use nibs as an unsweetened inclusion for crunch and colour contrast; granola, ice cream, and speciality coffee producers use them the same way. Small chocolate makers buy nibs to grind directly, avoiding the cost of a roaster and winnower. Cold brew and infusion producers use the coarser end of the screen band.

Packing, MOQ and shipping

Packed in 25 kg kraft bags with a food-grade liner, minimum order 1 MT, shipped FOB, CFR, or CIF within 2–3 weeks of confirmation. Nibs pick up moisture and odours quickly, so keep them sealed, cool, and away from aromatic stock. Every shipment carries a certificate of analysis and Halal documentation.

Frequently asked questions

Ordering, samples, shipping, and payment, answered by our export desk.

What is the minimum order for roasted Sulawesi cocoa nibs?

1 MT minimum, packed in 25 kg kraft bags with a food-grade liner. This is the lowest entry point in our processed range. Lead time is two to three weeks from confirmation, shipped FOB, CFR, or CIF with certificate of analysis and Halal documentation.

What shell content and particle size are guaranteed on these nibs?

Shell content is held at or below 1.75% after air winnowing, with particles screened to a 2 to 5 mm band. Fat runs 50 to 54% and moisture at or below 3% to keep nibs crisp. Roast level is adjustable on request for inclusion versus grind applications.

Should I buy nibs for inclusions or for grinding into chocolate?

As inclusions, nibs go into bars, cookies, granola, and ice cream for crunch without added sugar. Small makers grind nibs directly to skip roaster and winnower capital. Tell us your use case and we match roast and particle size accordingly.

How should I store imported cocoa nibs after delivery?

Keep bags sealed, cool, and away from aromatic stock because nibs pick up moisture and odours quickly. Certificate of analysis confirms fat and shell at dispatch; reseal opened bags promptly in your warehouse.
