Overview

The aromatic profile is one of the reasons this hazelnut is appreciated by artisans and processors. Perceived quality also depends on season, post-harvest handling, moisture and storage conditions.

  • Aroma: expressive; profile may vary by season and batch
  • Typical uses: pastry, gelato, artisan ingredient supply
  • Main format today: in-shell
  • Batch availability: season-dependent
  • Processing (shelled/peeled/granules/paste): in development / on request for minimum batches

Harvest & seasonality

Harvest timing and weather conditions can affect moisture, stability and batch management. After harvest, batches are typically cleaned and may be dried/conditioned and sorted. This helps stabilize moisture and improve storage performance.

  • Indicative period: late summer / autumn (season-dependent)
  • Post-harvest: cleaning + possible conditioning/drying
  • Sorting: aligned to requested specs (by batch)
  • Availability: depends on season and required specifications

Quality & common defects

Hazelnut quality is both technical and sensory. Some common issues are closely linked to moisture and storage conditions.

  • Moisture: too high can increase mold risk and reduce stability
  • Mold: can develop with poor airflow or unsuitable storage
  • Rancidity: oxidation favored by heat, light and long storage
  • Batch management: helps reduce variability and defects

In-shell storage (best practices)

The shell offers protection, but stable quality still depends on proper storage. A cool, dry, ventilated environment helps preserve aroma and stability.

  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
  • Avoid strong odors and direct light exposure
  • Monitor humidity and pests regularly
  • Rotate batches (FIFO) for consistent freshness
  • Keep packaging intact until use when possible

Packaging & logistics (B2B)

For B2B supply, packaging and logistics affect stability, cost and lead time. We align format, labeling and destination requirements based on quantities and specifications.

  • Packaging: sacks / cartons / pallets (batch-dependent)
  • Documents: invoice, batch info; analyses on request
  • Lead time: depends on season and batch preparation
  • Traceability: batch-based
