Our Roots

We are a young, ambitious cooperative full of enthusiasm, driven by a project led by Solagro. Founded in 2022 with 121 members, Nature Pistachio now brings together 134 growers from Toledo, Cuenca and Ciudad Real.

Our facilities on María Pacheco Street are the gateway to a project that brings tradition and innovation together. The daily work of our families has created solid foundations, making us a benchmark for cooperative unity and rural development.

We sow history and harvest the future. Our first season at the plant was in 2025, when it was officially opened by the Regional Minister of Agriculture. We bring pistachios from the heart of La Mancha to the world.

The Value of the Nut

The pistachio says it all. It may be small, but it carries all our work, our land and the shared effort of everyone who believes in it.

At Nature Pistachio, we foster unity across La Mancha. We care for every branch with dedication, because every step reminds us that our cooperative has entered a new chapter.

Our Facilities

A place where technology embraces nature.

Located in Corral de Almaguer (Toledo), our facilities are a meeting point for more than one hundred growers from the region. The site is designed to receive each harvest efficiently, minimise waiting times and ensure that pistachios reach our hoppers fresh.

Our Processing

Innovation, technology and exceptional care in every detail of the plant.

Processing is what makes our pistachios unique. The hoppers receive the crop, which is cleaned, dried, graded and stored using state-of-the-art equipment under the strictest European market standards.

We combine the tradition of our 134 members with optical sorting and slow-drying techniques. This keeps the pistachios’ sensory qualities intact.

  • High-Precision Optical Sorting
  • Precisely Controlled Drying
  • Advanced Mechanical Separation

Production Process

Our rigorous process ensures a high-quality product.

Cleaning

Leaves and branches are removed by the destemmer.

Water-assisted hulling removes any remaining skin.

5

Weighing

Precise volumetric control of the wet hulled crop.

Pre-drying

A burst of heat helps open the shell.

8

Separation

Friction removes any pistachios that remain unhulled.

9

Storage

The crop rests in a buffer silo to stabilise.

10

Final Drying

Static drying followed by packaging.

Our Phase 1 Equipment

Our line includes unloading hoppers, a destemmer, hullers, a flotation tank, a pre-dryer and a separator for unhulled pistachios.

Main equipment by Renatus and Jar. Destoner by IS&PA, shelling equipment by Renatus, kernel optical sorting by CIMBRIA and optical grading by UNITEC.
