Hazelnuts (Corylus avellana), also known as filberts, are a key luxury commodity in the global nut market, highly sought after by premium chocolate brands and large confectionery manufacturers. Aba Impex supplies world-class hazelnuts harvested from premier orchards located in temperate coastal areas with mild winters and cool summers. Our hazelnuts undergo rapid automated sorting and uniform shell-cracking directly after harvest to prevent flavor loss and ensure kernel integrity. Our modern processing lines grade the kernels precisely by diameter millimeter metrics, matching our buyers’ exact requirements. With strict controls on internal moisture levels and automated sorting to remove rancid or damaged nuts, we ensure our shipments stay free from flavor defects or mold. Packed in secure, gas-flushed packaging, our hazelnuts are protected from moisture and oxidation during marine transit, delivering fresh, top-tier ingredients to retail buyers and industrial chocolate makers globally.
