The main ingredient: Tam Quan coconuts

Tam Quan, Binh Dinh, is famous for coconuts

Top Coco baked coconut cracker is primarily made with coconut meat. The manufacturer carefully chooses fresh and flavorful coconuts sourced from the Tam Quan region in Binh Dinh province.

Tam Quan, located in Binh Dinh province in the southern central region of Vietnam, about 300km from Da Nang, is famous for its coconuts. Tam Quan coconuts are known for their sweet and pure water, delicious and nutritious coconut flesh.

Popular Vietnamese fruit

Coconut is a popular fruit in Vietnam that you shouldn’t miss trying when you visit the country. Coconuts are grown all over Vietnam, but they are most heavily concentrated in the Mekong Delta region, which makes up 80% of the country’s coconut cultivation area. 

The other ingredients

In addition to sourcing their main ingredient, coconuts, from Tam Quan, Binh Dinh province, Top Coco partners with farmers in Hoa Vang district, Da Nang city to cultivate and harvest peanuts and sesame seeds, creating unique baked coconut cracker products.

Most recently, they’ve collaborated with Sokfarm, a supplier of organic coconut flower nectar, to use it as an ingredient in their newest product line “COCOOL coconut lower crackers”. These crackers boast a harmonious blend of coconut meat and Vietnamese coconut nectar, without any added sugar.

A taste of Vietnam: the allure of coconut 

Coconuts are an important ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine and culture. They are found in almost every region of the country but are especially abundant in the southern part of Vietnam.

Coconut meat is used to make many dishes, such as coconut sticky rice, candied coconut ribbons, and coconut candy. Coconut water is also an essential ingredient in many Vietnamese dishes, including caramelized pork and eggs.

In southern Vietnam, during the Lunar New Year, coconuts are always included in the tray of five fruits that are offered to ancestors on the altar. This is a symbol of good luck and prosperity for the coming year.

How Top Coco baked coconut crackers are made

Step 1: Harvesting the coconuts

The coconuts are harvested in Tam Quan, a region in Binh Dinh province that is known for its high-quality coconuts. After harvesting, the coconuts are husked and the coconut meat is carefully extracted. The coconut meat is then transported to the factory in Da Nang city.

Step 2: Mixing the ingredients

The fresh coconut meat is mixed with other ingredients, such as mung beans, sesame seeds, peanuts, rice flour, and glutinous rice flour. The specific ingredients vary depending on the product line. Top Coco currently offers four product lines: traditional flavor, sesame flavor, peanut flavor, and mung bean flavor.

Step 3: Rolling out the dough

The dough is rolled out into thin sheets.

Step 4: Baking the crackers

The crackers are baked in an oven until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Packaging the crackers

The crackers are cooled and then packaged in individual bags.

The Top Coco Coconut Cracker Production Process

The Top Coco story: a journey of passion and tradition

Mai Thi Y Nhi (left) and Nguyen Van Tan (right), the co-founders of the Top Coco brand.

Mai Thi Y Nhi grew up surrounded by coconut palms in Tam Quan, Vietnam. Everywhere she looked, coconuts seemed to be a part of life – used in delicious dishes, woven into everyday crafts. This deep connection with the humble coconut sparked a dream in Nhi: to create healthy snacks that showcased the goodness of her hometown’s bounty.

Nhi wasn’t just passionate about the coconut’s delicious potential; she also saw a chance to give back to the local farmers. Despite the abundance of coconuts, many growers struggled to make a decent living. This inspired Nhi’s vision: to create successful products using the region’s coconuts and, in turn, support the local community.

After moving to Da Nang City with her husband (Nguyen Van Tan), they opened a small bakery. Since 2016, the couple spent a year researching and developing the first recipe for baked coconut crackers.

However, when they first introduced their product to the market, they faced numerous challenges: consumers were indifferent to the new product, they lacked capital, and persuading retail stores and supermarkets to carry their product was difficult.

Undeterred, Nhi and her husband displayed unwavering determination. They tirelessly approached retailers, showcasing the product’s quality and deliciousness to potential customers. They continuously refined their production process, ensuring the crackers were healthy and consistently tasty.

Their hard work paid off. Customers started embracing Top Coco’s unique flavor and healthy approach. Then came a breakthrough – their first export order, all the way from Japan! It was then that they realized that their startup could survive.

Top Coco baked coconut crackers have been certified as a 4-star OCOP product by Da Nang City, making them a specialty of the city. The crackers are exported to markets such as Japan, Korea, the US, China, Laos, Mongolia, France, and many more.
