Unlike coffee, which has a defined season, macadamia is harvested all year long. It is a continuous and patient harvest that calls for constant presence in the crop.
The macadamia nut is harvested when it is ripe and falls naturally from the tree. At Culpan we gather it by hand, one by one, straight from the ground.
Collecting the fallen nut is the best guarantee that it is harvested at its right point of ripeness. It is careful work, done by skilled hands that know the crop and respect the tree's natural rhythm, without forcing or rushing the fall.
Because the trees ripen their nuts in a staggered way, the macadamia harvest stretches across the whole year. There is no single season: there is the constant work of walking the plantation and gathering what falls.
That continuity demands organisation and dedication, but it also has an advantage: the nut is collected fresh and at its best throughout the cycle. Gathered without haste, it reaches the mill in optimal condition to reveal all its quality.
After the harvest, the nut goes through the mill. Discover how we process it.
