Girsang Candlenuts: Premium Indonesian Candlenut Export From the Highlands of Lake Toba

   


Ethically Sourced • Premium Grade • Direct from Origin • Agrotourism Ready

Across the world, demand for authentic, natural, and traceable spices continues to rise—especially ingredients with both culinary and cosmetic value. Among them, one stands out: Indonesian candlenut (Aleurites moluccanus).

And in the heart of Indonesia’s volcanic highlands, overlooking the majestic Lake Toba, lies Girsang Village—a community where candlenut trees grow abundantly, and where tradition and craftsmanship meet export-ready quality.

Kemiri Girsang brings the finest candlenuts from this region straight to global buyers—fresh, natural, ethically produced, and supported by centuries of cultural heritage.

🌱 A Heritage Ingredient With 10,000 Years of History

Archaeological findings from Timor, Morotai, and Sulawesi show that candlenut has been cultivated for more than 10,000 years. Indonesia’s tropical climate, fertile volcanic soil, and abundant rainfall make it the world’s largest candlenut producer.

Key producing regions include:

  • North Sumatra (Lake Toba region)
  • Java
  • Sulawesi
  • Gorontalo
  • Nusa Tenggara

Girsang stands out because its trees grow on volcanic slopes, giving the nuts:

  • higher oil content (15–20%+),
  • creamier-white kernels,
  • stronger aroma,
  • and increased shelf stability.

🍃 Why Global Buyers Choose Candlenuts From Girsang Village

Lake Toba’s volcanic soil produces candlenuts that are:

  • naturally pesticide-free
