Besana Cashew Nuts

Besana is a renowned Italian brand specializing in nuts and dried fruits, founded in 1921 by the Besana family. The company established itself as a leader in the processing and distribution of premium nut products globally. In 2020, Besana entered into a significant strategic partnership and acquisition by Importaco, a major Spanish nut and snack food corporation.

While the raw materials like cashews are sourced from tropical regions globally, the processing, roasting, and packaging typically occur at Besana’s modern facilities in Italy or within the broader Importaco Group network in Europe. This ownership has created one of the largest nut groups in Europe, combining Italian processing expertise with Spanish scale.
