One integrated process.
Six controlled stages.

We manage the path of the hazelnut as one connected operation. Every stage prepares the product for the next — helping us deliver the right taste, texture, volume and format.

Young hazelnut plants in the orchard01
ORIGIN

Orchards & grower support

The process begins with selected hazelnut varieties and close relationships with growers, keeping sourcing connected to the orchards and regional production.

Hazelnuts arriving at the purchasing centre02
PURCHASING

Intake at the collection centre

Harvested hazelnuts arrive at our purchasing centre, where quantities are recorded and each lot enters an organised intake flow.

Quality inspection and sorting of hazelnut kernels03
LASER SELECTION · 2 T/H

Inspection, cleaning & sorting

After cleaning, hazelnuts pass through high-precision laser sorting and selection. The system identifies and separates unsuitable material to create a cleaner, more consistent production batch, with nominal capacity up to 2 tonnes per hour.

Hazelnut processing equipment04
PROCESSING

Roasting, cutting or milling

Depending on the final product, kernels remain raw, are roasted, cut into one of three granulations, or finely milled into flour. Nominal roasting capacity reaches 1,200 kg per hour.

Smooth pure hazelnut butter05
FINISHING
