THE HAZELNUT FACTORY

hazelnut roasting

Toasting - Graining Pasting

We roast each hazelnut according to a traditional indirect flame method to bring out all the aromas, taste and crunchiness peculiar to our hazelnut.

Hazelnuts can now again be sorted and sold whole as is, be grained or flours, and last but not least chopped with specific machinery to create a pure hazelnut paste suitable for use in an ice cream, chocolate or any of your recipes.

shelling hazelnuts

Shelling and Selection

To extract the fruit from the shell, we do not break the hazelnuts but cut the shell exactly in half thanks to a modern plant that minimizes the stress to which the hazelnut is subjected. A hyper-technological machine analyzes each individual hazelnut to remove all impurities and all those imperfect fruits.

To ensure primissma quality we manually reselect all hazelnuts where experience and a keen eye are determining factors.

hazelnut cleaning

Cleaning - Drying - Storage

It all starts with the farmers bringing us the freshly harvested hazelnuts to one of our collection centers where they are separated by special machinery from the ground, stones, sticks and empty hazelnuts. At the end of the cleaning process, the hazelnuts are dried and brought to a proper moisture content and stored in special rooms until they are processed.
