Exotic Snacks Stora Cashewnötter Naturella

Exotic Snacks is a prominent Swedish brand specializing in nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Founded in Sweden in 1961, it has become a staple in Scandinavian grocery stores, particularly known for its 'pick-and-mix' nut displays. The cashews themselves are sourced globally from regions like Vietnam, India, or West Africa, as cashew trees require tropical climates not found in Sweden; however, the final processing and packaging often occur in Sweden to ensure quality control. In 2021, the brand was acquired by Premium Snacks Nordic AB (formerly known as Rootfruit Pharma), which focuses on high-quality snacks with natural ingredients. The company is headquartered in Sweden and continues to expand its presence across Northern Europe.
