Barjil Organic Raw Hazelnut Kernels

The kernels are mechanically calibrated to the premium 13-15 mm grade, providing optimal size uniformity for confectionery topping, panning, and luxury snack packaging. Wholesale orders start at 20 master cartons of 10kg each (200kg net total). For export sea freight, goods are palletized at 60 cartons (600kg net) per standard shrink-wrapped pallet.

Hazelnuts are cultivated in traditional mountain orchards in Eshkevarat without synthetic chemical sprays or synthetic fertilizers, meeting rigorous organic production principles. Every dispatch includes an accredited batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming zero detectable aflatoxins (Total and B1 under strict EU/Codex limits) and zero chemical pesticides.

Raw hazelnut kernels contain over 60% healthy lipids vulnerable to rancidity. Barjil deploys high-barrier multi-layer nylon pouches with industrial nitrogen gas flushing and complete vacuum extraction. This modified atmosphere packaging preserves peroxide value under 1.0 meq O2/kg fat for up to 12 months, preventing off-flavors, lipid deterioration, and texture sogginess.

Cold storage warehouses should maintain steady ambient temperatures between 8°C and 12°C with relative humidity controlled under 50% to prevent moisture re-absorption and mold germination. Once the vacuum hermetic seal is punctured, the kernels should be consumed or transferred into airtight containers within 45 days, shielding them from strong odors and ambient warmth.

Yes, for industrial procurement exceeding 500kg, Barjil provides custom convection roasting profiles (light or medium roast, with or without skin blanched), as well as precision dicing and hazelnut meal milling. Roasting utilizes indirect hot-air convection rather than direct flame, guaranteeing uniform core toasting without burnt surface spots.

Consignments are backed by official Phytosanitary Certificates, Ministry Health Certificates, Chamber Certificate of Origin, detailed packing list, and commercial invoice. Standard delivery terms are EXW (production facility), FCA (Tehran logistics hub), or FOB (Bandar Abbas / overland border terminals), backed by full customs handling services.

Eshkevarat hazelnuts benefit from volcanic-mineral soils and cool mountain climates, resulting in higher lipid concentrations (often exceeding 62%) and an intrinsically sweeter, nuttier flavor profile. Furthermore, direct pipeline sourcing and localized seasonal processing prevent prolonged maritime transit times and temperature fluctuations, delivering unmatched freshness to distributors.
