Uniformly calibrated raw natural hazelnut kernels, crisp texture, unroasted, free from bitter notes and aflatoxin, for confectionery and snacking.
FAQ
Kernels in this grade are screen-calibrated predominantly between 13 to 15 mm, representing large premium table grades. Broken and split kernels are rigorously kept under 3% per carton.
Yes, rigorous aflatoxin screening is mandatory prior to dispatch. For international shipments, official laboratory reports covering B1 and total aflatoxins are issued according to the importer country's thresholds.
Vacuum packaging removes oxygen, effectively halting rancidity and lipid oxidation in high-oil hazelnut kernels. This maintains crispness, aroma, and moisture equilibrium throughout extended transit routes.
Kernel moisture is strictly controlled within 4% to 6%. Testing is conducted via digital halogen analyzers and standardized oven-drying methods to guarantee crisp bite and microbiological stability.
Thanks to dedicated cold storage facilities under controlled atmospheric parameters, we maintain steady supply contracts for confectionery and bakery giants with multi-ton monthly allocations year-round.
The baseline MOQ is 50 kg. For containerized cargo, cartons are stacked onto standard 100x120 cm heat-treated pallets (800–1000 kg per pallet), shrink-wrapped, and strapped for seaworthy stability.
