Barjil Supreme Raw Hazelnut Kernels

Raw hazelnut kernels contain active natural enzymes (such as lipase) and inherent moisture. At ambient storage temperatures above 15°C, enzyme activity accelerates lipid hydrolysis, leading to rancidity over extended periods. Cold storage maintained between 5–10°C suppresses enzymatic degradation, effectively locking in natural farm-fresh quality for up to 12 months.

Yes, thanks to precise calibration (14-16 mm), sub-1% breakage rates, and zero chemical treatments, this grade serves as an ideal baseline for hazelnut paste, praline, and bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturing. Industrial clients can apply their proprietary roasting curves directly to these raw kernels.

Harvesting, dehulling, and drying stages are strictly monitored to prevent atmospheric moisture accumulation on the shells. Prior to final packing, every batch undergoes HPLC testing for Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2, securing certificates that satisfy strict EU and EAEU food safety thresholds.

In Supreme-grade lots, the total proportion of halves or broken kernels is capped below 1.5% of net batch weight. Optical color sorters and vibration sieves effectively screen out fragmented pieces to deliver uniform whole kernels.

Yes, for orders exceeding 5 metric tons, custom outer carton printing, multilingual labeling, and varied vacuum bag sizing (1kg, 5kg, 10kg, or 25kg) can be arranged under OEM agreements. All label artwork compliance is tailored to the customs regulations of the destination country.

Fulfillment, sorting, and vacuum packing for orders up to 10 metric tons typically require 5 to 7 business days. During the autumn harvest season, supply lines run at peak capacity with immediate dispatch schedules to ports or overland borders as agreed.

Raw hazelnuts are packed with monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), Vitamin E, dietary fiber, and magnesium. Every 100g supplies roughly 628 kcal and 60g of healthy plant fats. Absence of thermal processing preserves 100% of its native antioxidant capacity.
