BIO NOCCIOLA

Fresh Hazelnut kernels are selected using the latest screening technology to eliminate impurities and make the product healthy from an organoleptic point of view. The product is then calibrated and ready for sale to the confectionery industry, small artisan businesses and for fresh consumption.

Before being toasted, hazelnuts must withstand rigorous quality controls in order to avoid infiltrations of foreign bodies and low quality hazelnuts. Such controls are carried out manually by our experienced and qualified staff and mechanically with the latest technology in laser and optical screening. Toasting is simply the process of cooking/baking the product in the oven. Our latest generation industrial ovens give us the capability to apply different parameters to this process in order to obtain a product that can fully satisfy our clients requests. The process of roasting not only allows to preserve the hazelnut for longer period of time but also exalts its taste and aroma. The finished product is generally vacuum packed in aluminium bags in order to preserve the delicious flavour.
