Alesto Selection Cashew Nuts

Alesto is a private label brand primarily owned and distributed by the German international discount retailer Lidl. The brand was established to provide a wide range of snack products, specifically focusing on nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. As a global private label, its manufacturing and sourcing are highly decentralized. The raw cashew nuts are typically sourced from major producing regions such as Vietnam, Ivory Coast, or Brazil, while processing and packaging often occur in facilities across Europe, including Germany and Poland, to serve the local markets where Lidl operates.

The brand is a core part of Lidl's value-tier offering, designed to compete with premium international snack brands. Ownership remains strictly within the Schwarz Group, which is the parent organization of Lidl. Because Alesto is a store-brand, its availability is exclusive to Lidl supermarkets, where it benefits from the group's massive logistics and supply chain infrastructure. The brand has evolved to include various sub-lines like 'Selection' and 'Fine' to cater to different consumer preferences for quality and preparation styles.
