Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts – Rich Aroma, Distinct Flavor & Natural Energy

Product Overview

Hazelnuts (Corylus avellana) are among the world’s most refined and flavorful nuts, renowned for their rich aroma, delicate sweetness, and smooth texture. Naturally high in healthy fats, vitamin E, and protein, hazelnuts are a key ingredient in bakery, confectionery, chocolate, and plant-based food industries. Their unique taste profile makes them essential for premium spreads, pralines, and desserts.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Hazelnuts sourced primarily from the Black Sea region of Turkey, the global leader in hazelnut production. Our products are carefully shelled, roasted, or blanched under controlled processing conditions to preserve natural flavor and nutritional integrity. Available in whole, chopped, or paste forms, Tuna Sourcing offers high-quality hazelnuts tailored for industrial use, private-label packaging, and international trade.
