01
Fair to farmers
We buy directly from partner farmers, without a long chain of middlemen.
It began in farmers'swiftlet houses
Nestsensials grew out of Markaswalet, a platform that works alongside swiftlet farmers in Indonesia every day. We want the farmers' best nests to reach family tables clean, honest about where they come from, and at a price that is fair to the farmers.
02
Clean without chemicals
Nests are cleaned by hand. No bleach, colouring, or additives.
03
Clear origin
Every pack comes from a swiftlet house that can be traced through the Markaswalet ecosystem.
Our process
Four stages before it reaches you
- 1
Harvested
Nests are harvested from partner farmers' swiftlet houses in Kalimantan.
- 2
Sorted
Graded by shape and size: bowl, corner, strips, fine pieces.
- 3
Cleaned
Feathers and dirt are removed one by one by hand, without chemicals.
- 4
Packed
Quality-checked, weighed, then packed neatly.
Food safety
HACCP and NKV certified
HACCP ensures our process follows food safety standards. NKV (Veterinary Control Number) is Indonesia's mark that a processing site meets hygiene and sanitation requirements for animal products.
Our ecosystem
Part of Markaswalet
Markaswalet is a platform owned by PT Lentera Alam Nusantara that helps swiftlet farmers look after their swiftlet houses, monitor their bird populations, and sell their nests at fairer prices. Nestsensials is how we bring their harvest directly to consumers.
