Barjil Supreme Roasted Hazelnut Kernels

Following thermal roasting, kernels pass through centrifugal deskinning cylinders to ensure over 90% of the thin brown pellicle is stripped away. Roast color is monitored via optical colorimeters, achieving a consistent golden-cream hue across each production lot while preventing localized charring that could induce bitter notes.

In adherence to strict EU and GCC nut import standards, every lot is tested via HPLC in accredited laboratories. Total aflatoxins are certified below 4 ppb, with aflatoxin B1 below 2 ppb. Official health clearance certificates verifying zero Salmonella in 25g and E. coli absence accompany shipping documentation.

The wholesale MOQ is 10 master cartons of 10 kg each (100 kg net). Each carton measures 38x28x22 cm and holds two 5 kg metallized vacuum pouches. Standard 100x120 cm export pallets accommodate 60 cartons (6 layers of 10 boxes), totaling approximately 630 kg gross, secured with heavy-duty corner protectors and shrink film.

With natural lipid concentrations exceeding 60%, roasted hazelnuts require strict oxidation management. Barjil mandates cold storage between 5°C and 12°C with relative humidity below 50%. Metallized vacuum barrier packaging completely halts oxygen transmission, sustaining peroxide levels below 1.5 meq O2/kg throughout the 12-month shelf life.

Yes, Barjil's processing plant is equipped with precision granulators to supply diced hazelnuts (calibrated at 2-4 mm or 4-6 mm) and colloidal stone refiners producing 100% pure unsweetened hazelnut paste with an ultra-fine particle size under 20 microns for industrial chocolate and gelato applications.

Operating automated Form-Fill-Seal and pre-made pouch machinery, Barjil packages roasted hazelnuts in stand-up zipper pouches (Doypack) in 150g, 250g, and 500g weights, or clear food-grade PET containers under private label (OEM) agreements conforming to export retail regulations.
