The story behind Sahale Snacks from their website:
We developed our initial product line of premium nut blends beginning in the summer of 2003, after we returned from climbing Mt. Rainier in Washington State. Overloaded on uninspired trail mix and stale bin nuts, we were motivated to create a natural and healthy snack that tasted like great food. We used tree nuts as the basis of the blends and tested hundreds of recipes, combining natural and organic ingredients. In January 2004 we hit the market with four all-natural snacks with unique regional ingredients and spices, including Moroccan harissa, naturally dried papaya, and organic balsamic vinegar.

We stick to a simple idea: use only whole foods in their natural form, avoid processed and artificial ingredients, add “culinary magic”, and produce great tasting, nutritious snacks.
I received a sample of the Cashews with Pomegranate and Vanilla which was very, very good. The flavors melded well together. I felt like I was eating something very decadent.
From their website:
We think we’ve found a perfect combination of sublime flavors: pomegranate, vanilla, and cashews. Our whole roasted cashews are teamed with pomegranate and apple, and balanced with pure vanilla bean. Our light glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness. Sahale Snacks Glazed Nuts are lightly sweet and glazed nuts with fruits offered in 3 4-ounce varieties. This exciting new line takes the everyday glazed nuts to a new culinary level.

We use a two-step dry roasting process to achieve a light sweetness, flavor-filled crunch and an authentic balance of flavors. With our culinary approach, there is no place for artificial flavors or heavy sweeteners. Our Glazed Nuts are cholesterol-free, and have no trans fat.

The next sample we tried was the Soledad blend: From their website:
Almond, apples, flax seed, balsamic vinegar, red pepper. Influenced by the Mediterranean, this delectable snacking experience features almonds, apples, flax seeds and tickled with date, balsamic vinegar and cayenne.
Both nut blends were delicious. I loved the bit of spiciness from the Soledad blend. I loved the flavors and sweetness of the Cashew blend. This company has some great nut blends and I can’t wait to try more. With the holidays coming up- they will make nice gifts and look beautiful in a bowl on the table. Read more…
