We operate like an extension of your sourcing function — prioritizing specification clarity, predictable lead times and clean documentation. Our role is to translate your technical requirements into a stable, repeatable supply program.
Whether you need whole kernels for roasting, blanched kernels for a light color target, diced kernels for inclusions, or paste for high-shear mixing, we help you choose the right format, particle size, and packaging for the job.
Spec-first workflow: target spec → sample/approval → contract spec sheet → COA per lot → shipment release
Important: the specification numbers below are presented as widely-used industrial reference ranges and examples. Your contract specification can be tighter or different (customer-specific tolerances, allergen policies, micro limits, etc.).
Technical specification snapshots
Below are practical buyer-facing “spec snapshots” used in industrial procurement: physical sizing/calibration, chemical & safety limits, microbiological expectations, and packaging formats. If you share your target spec, we will align to your QA sheet and confirm feasibility by product form and plant.

Applications & technical guidance
Chocolate & confectionery
Use paste/purée for fillings, gianduja-style systems, and compound coatings; specify micron target to control mouthfeel and viscosity. Diced kernels are common for inclusions and panned products (control fines).
Paste micron target
Roast profile
Inclusion sizing
Bakery & cereals
Blanched kernels deliver lighter appearance in premium bakery; roasted meal/flour improves aroma in biscuits, fillings, and cereal clusters. Define granulation (0–2 mm vs. 0–3 mm) and moisture targets for crispness.
Granulation control
Moisture targets
Color management
Ice cream, dairy & spreads
Paste is widely used for gelato bases, dairy mixes, and spreads. Define roast level and particle size for smoothness; choose drums/IBC packaging to match your melting and dosing system.

Choosing the right format (quick guide)
| Format | Choose it when you need… | Key spec knobs |
|---|---|---|
| Natural kernels | In-house roasting control or “natural” label positioning; flexible downstream processing. | Size (single/mixed), moisture, defect tolerances, packaging (jute/big bag/vacuum). |
| Blanched kernels | Light color targets; reduced skin; premium inclusions. | Color, skin %, breakage, aflatoxin limits, micro limits, vacuum packing. |
| Roasted kernels/cuts | Ready-to-use aroma; stable crunch; reduced processing steps. | Roast degree, moisture, sieve curve, fines control, oxidation (peroxide/FFA). |
| Meal / flour | Powdered inclusions, bakery matrices, coatings, gluten-free bases. | Granulation, moisture, fat content (standard vs. customer-defined), micro limits. |
| Paste / purée | Fillings, spreads, gelato bases, sauces, beverages. | Micron target, roast profile, packaging (drum/IBC/bucket), storage temperature. |
Tip for R&D: if you’re troubleshooting viscosity or grittiness in spreads/fillings, particle size and roast profile are usually the two fastest levers to test (then packaging/storage history).

Do you support aflatoxin-limited programs?
Yes. We can align to buyer-defined aflatoxin limits and provide COAs per lot when required. Limits depend on destination market and customer standards.
Can you supply paste to a target particle size (micron)?
Yes. Paste can be produced to target particle size ranges (e.g., 20–25 µm, 25–40 µm, 40–80 µm) depending on the processing line and application.
Which origin do you supply?
Our core supply is Turkey-origin hazelnuts sourced through partner processors and export logistics.
