Nuts
Beaumont
A tier
Beaumont is a popular hybrid macadamia widely planted in South Africa and other commercial belts for productive orchard performance and buttery kernel quality. It combines traits valued in modern production—yield, recovery, and the creamy snack flavour buyers expect. The name is a grower and industry reference more than a supermarket brand, but kernels from Beaumont blocks feed large export volumes. Expect classic macadamia richness when lots are fresh. Ideal for commercial snack and baking contracts that track cultivar on the farm map. Sample oil quality before butter runs. Keep shelled stock cold. Productive genetics still lose to a hot warehouse—judge every delivery by smell and colour.

Beaumont entered wider export catalogues as named-variety marketing grew for nuts.
