What to look for when sourcing shelled hazelnuts
Product specification
A raw kernel for further roasting and a ready-to-use roasted kernel need different buying briefs. Start with the end use and any processing you intend to do.
Form & processing
Specify raw, dry-roasted or oil-roasted kernels, and any added steps like blanching, dicing or grinding.
Size & grade
Agree the kernel size range, such as whole halves or pieces, and the accepted grade for defects, splits and foreign material.
Harvest & crop year
Confirm the crop year and processing date. Fresh-crop raw kernels differ from stored product in moisture and flavor stability.
Quality acceptance
Visual and sensory checks must match the intended use. Agree how samples are assessed and how they relate to the shipment you receive.
Sensory assessment
Set the required taste and aroma profile, absence of rancidity or staleness, and roasting level if already processed.
Physical checks
Record acceptable moisture, free fatty acid level, defects, and size distribution. Whole kernels and pieces have different tolerances.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer, pre-shipment and arrival samples. Retain an approved sealed sample and agree inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.
Origin requirements
Country of origin affects flavor and availability, but it does not guarantee quality or food-safety compliance. Define the traceability you need beyond the country name.
Origin traceability
Request the growing region, producer or cooperative, harvest period and lot identity for your quantity.
Supply route
Ask whether kernels come directly from a sheller, a trader's stock or a grower-owned facility. Establish who is accountable for the product.
Blending flexibility
For repeat orders, define which origins and kernel sizes you can substitute without changing the product specification.
Commercial terms
Hazelnut offers can differ by processing stage, packaging and delivery point. Compare the final cost on the same basis.
- Price basis
- Confirm whether the price is per kilogram of raw inshell, shelled kernels or processed product. Name the currency and delivery point.
- Packaging
- Agree bag weight and material, whether vacuum-packed or in bulk cartons, and label requirements for ingredient buyers.
- Delivery & payment
- Match shipment period, payment terms and quote validity. Raw kernels require different handling and timing than roasted or ground product.
Documentation & compliance
Check required documentation before committing to shipment, especially for food-grade product. Evidence must cover the specific lot, not just the supplier.
- Shipment documents
- Align lot references, weights and entities across the invoice, packing list, transport document and any origin or phytosanitary records.
- Food safety & quality
- Request available mycotoxin testing and food-safety certificates for the lot. Confirm the testing laboratory and method used.
- Destination rules
- Confirm import requirements for your destination, including labeling, pesticide residues and any additional due-diligence or traceability data required for edible nuts.
Supplier capability
Growers, shellers, processors and traders each control different parts of the chain. Establish who handles shelling, sorting, roasting and storage, and who is accountable for your order.
Processing capability
Identify who performs shelling, roasting, blanching or sizing, and who resolves a quality failure. Raw and processed products need different capabilities.
Repeat supply
Ask how the supplier maintains your specification across crop changes and whether it can supply consistent volumes through the season.
Order fit
Confirm minimum order, sample provision and packaging options. For smaller purchases, ask about break-bulk or pre-packed product.
