Thoothukudi Pepper Cashews

Thoothukudi's Pepper Cashews are exactly what they sound like, plump whole cashews seasoned with bold black pepper and salt, and confident enough to leave it there. This is a premium snack that lets genuinely good nuts do the talking, with no coatings or fillers to hide behind. It is the most gift friendly product in the range, equally at home in a festive hamper, on a drinks tray or in a desk drawer for a mid afternoon lift. With the longest shelf life of any Patang snack, it is also the one you can stock up on well ahead of the occasion.

Origin Story: Thoothukudi, on Tamil Nadu's southern coast, is a town with a long affection for both cashews and pepper, two ingredients that have moved through its markets for a very long time. Pepper roasted cashews are a natural meeting of the two, simple, elegant and full of flavour. The snack sits comfortably between homely and special, the kind of thing you make for yourself but are also proud to hand to a guest. Patang keeps it restrained and confident, trusting the quality of the cashew rather than dressing it up.

Taste and Texture: A buttery, rich cashew gives way to a sharp, fragrant bite of black pepper, with salt tying the two together. The crunch is clean and satisfying, the flavour is grown up rather than gimmicky, and the whole thing feels indulgent without being heavy.
