Gathering nests : Nests are carefully collected by hand to avoid damaging them. Collectors are trained to be experienced in handling the delicate nests without causing harm to themselves or the nests.
Sorting and cleaning : After collection, nests are sorted based on their color, shape, thickness and size. Once organized the nests are cleaned by hand to remove impurities such as feathers, dirt, or other debris.
Color and appearance: Bird's nests are graded based on their color, appearance, and overall cleanliness. Nests with a light color and clean appearance are considered higher quality than those with dark spots or impurities. To ensure the utmost hygienic standards in cleaning, our company has obtained the NKV Certification from the Department of Farming & Quarantine in Indonesia. Our labs & facilities are all NKV standard and have been certified by the relevant Indonesian governing authority. Part of the NKV standard requires all our workers to utilize hair netting and personal protective gear before entering the cleaning facility. Our workers then hand select feathers and impurities off the bird's nest and clean the selected bird's nest using purified or mineral water.
Texture and shape: The texture and shape of the nests also play a role in grading. Nests with a smooth texture and consistent shape are typically graded higher than those with rough textures or irregular shapes. Size and thickness: The size and thickness of the nests are important factors in grading. Larger nests with thicker walls are often considered higher quality and command a higher price.
Presence of feathers or impurities: Nests that are free from feathers, dirt, or other impurities are graded higher than those with visible contaminants.

After the initial cleaning, the edible bird’s nests are carefully shaped to restore their natural form. Skilled artisans gently mold the nests to their original structure, ensuring they retain their delicate texture. Once shaped, the nests are air-dried in a controlled environment with optimal temperature and humidity to preserve their quality and nutritional value. This precise drying process ensures that each nest is perfectly preserved, ready for consumption while maintaining its integrity and natural goodness.

We pack our edible bird nest in 100g, 250g, 500g and 1kg packages. All packaging follows strict food safety compliance and are ensured to preserved quality during transportation and storage.
