1. Format Variety That Works for Your Venue

Not every café operates the same way. Some serve hundreds of bowls a day. Others need a grab-and-go freezer option. The best wholesale supplier offers flexible product formats to suit different workflows and equipment setups.

At Nectar Fruits, here’s what you’ll find:

🥣 Acai Pure Machine Mix – 5kg (Best-Seller!)

This product contains 68% acai pulp and is perfect for use in commercial acai machines or soft-serve dispensers. With its smooth, creamy texture and minimal sugar and gums, it flows perfectly for consistent results in high-volume settings.

Ideal for: High-traffic cafés using machines for acai bowls and soft serve.

🍌 Acai Scoopable & Machine Mix – with Banana or Guarana

Versatile and flavour-packed, these mixes can be scooped directly from the tub or used in acai machines. They contain 60% acai and come in two delicious blends:

🍨 Soft Scoop Acai – 5L Tubs

Ideal for: Instagram-worthy bowl creations and tropical variety on your menu.

2. Support for Machines & Service Efficiency

If you’re using soft-serve machines or looking to increase output speed, choosing a supplier that understands the technical side of service is crucial.

Key Questions to Ask:

• Is the acai product compatible with your machine?

• Can the supplier help you set up or maintain equipment?

• Do they offer rental options?

• What’s the ideal temperature range for their products?

Nectar Fruits offers a full suite of acai formats tailored for soft serve and scoopable service, and we work closely with café owners to ensure your machine setup is optimal—from first pour to final swirl.

3. Certifications That Build Customer Trust

Customers care about where their food comes from—and you should too. The best wholesale suppliers will offer clear visibility into how their acai is harvested, processed and delivered.

Look for:

• Organic certification: Minimally processed, pesticide-free

• Ethical sourcing: Supports local communities in Brazil

• HACCP compliance: Safe handling from import to your kitchen

• Vegan and gluten-free assurance

Nectar Fruits’ acai products are ethically harvested and minimally processed, allowing the natural flavour of the fruit to shine—no fillers, no fluff.

4. Reliable, Local Supply You Can Count On

Running out of acai on a summer weekend? That’s a nightmare scenario for any café. Work with a supplier that understands Australian café volume and can supply consistently—especially during peak periods.

What Nectar Offers:

Your menu and your budget aren’t one-size-fits-all—your supplier shouldn’t be either.

7. Marketing Assets & Menu Support

Some suppliers drop off the product and disappear. The best ones help you sell more of it. From recipe support to content creation, the right partner will help you build your brand.

Look for:

• POS kits: Posters, tags, table cards, flags and aframes

• Digital assets: High-res bowl photos for social media

Your customers care about sustainability—especially when it comes to rainforest-grown superfoods like acai. Choose a supplier that aligns with your values and supports sustainable sourcing.

What to Look For:

• Wild-harvested acai that protects natural ecosystems

• Fair pay for workers in the Amazon

• Compostable or recyclable packaging
