Hazelnuts

In-shell hazelnuts (giffoni variety or as specified) are delivered to the factory for processing. When required, the in-shell nuts are well washed using water and dried. Following this, the nuts are mechanically shelled and cleaned using best industry practices after which they are roasted. Roasting the hazelnuts releases the skin which is sieved and aspirated off the product. During roasting of whole hazelnuts, the kernel may split into two reasonably homogenously sized halves along naturally occurring fissures in the nut.

The product is then on-line metal detected and nitrogen flushed and vacuum packing into food grade strong polybags plastic, in cartons, sealed, traceability coded, and metal detected.
