SLICED HAZELNUT

Sliced hazelnuts are finely processed kernels obtained from top-grade Turkish hazelnuts (Corylus avellana), meticulously sliced into thin, uniform pieces. Produced from premium natural or blanched kernels, these slices typically range from 0.7 to 1.2 mm in thickness, ensuring consistent texture and appearance in every batch. The slicing process is performed using precision machinery under controlled temperature conditions to preserve the nut’s natural oil content, aroma, and nutritional integrity. With a moisture level of below 3% and oil content between 60–68%, sliced hazelnuts retain their freshness, crispness, and distinctive flavor profile.

Each batch is thoroughly cleaned, metal-detected, and packed under strict hygiene and food safety standards (ISO, BRC, and HACCP certified), guaranteeing a product free from foreign material and contamination. Available as both raw or lightly roasted, sliced hazelnuts are packed in vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-flushed packaging to maintain their flavor and shelf life. Custom slicing sizes and roasting levels can be provided upon request to meet specific industrial or retail needs.

Applications and Markets: Sliced hazelnuts are widely used in the confectionery, bakery, chocolate, and dairy industries — ideal for decorating cakes, pastries, biscuits, ice creams, and breakfast cereals. They are also favored by gourmet chefs and health-conscious consumers for topping salads, granolas, and desserts. Known for their delicate aroma and high nutritional value, Turkish sliced hazelnuts enjoy strong demand in export markets across Europe, North America, and Asia, where precision, taste consistency, and visual appeal are essential for premium food production.
