Alesto Selection Cashews

Alesto is a private-label brand exclusively owned and distributed by the German discount retail giant Lidl. Originally established in Germany to provide a diverse range of nut and dried fruit products, the brand has become a staple across Lidl's international network of stores.

While the brand itself is German in origin, the production process is global. The cashews are typically sourced from major producing regions such as Vietnam, India, or Ivory Coast. After sourcing, the final processing, roasting, and packaging are often handled by specialized contractors like Solent GmbH & Co. KG or within facilities in the European Union, such as Germany, to ensure consistent quality for the European market.

Ultimate ownership of the brand lies with the Schwarz Group, one of the largest retail conglomerates in the world. As of 2026, the Schwarz Group continues to manage Alesto as a key part of its in-house brand portfolio, ensuring high logistical efficiency and competitive pricing through its extensive distribution chain.
