Keaau
A tier
Keaau is a famous Hawaiian macadamia cultivar name closely associated with the numbered selection 741 and industry-standard plantings. Kernels are buttery and creamy with the soft luxury crunch Hawaiian snack culture made global. The name signals Hawaiian breeding heritage and commercial reliability more than a wildly different flavour from other integrifolia-based cultivars. Seek plump ivory meats with clean sweet aroma. Ideal for gift tins, cookies, and roasted snacks marketed with Hawaiian identity. Freeze surplus. Keaau fame does not prevent rancidity—check every bag. Compare with other Hawaiian numbers if your contract tracks specific clones on orchard maps.

History
Keaau type macadamia was selected or named in commercial and orchard practice as growers refined regional stocks.
Orchard and trade grading spread Keaau beyond its first districts where climate allowed.
Keaau entered wider export catalogues as named-variety marketing grew for nuts.
Specialty buyers continued to request Keaau for predictable flavour and size in roasting and baking.
