What to look for when sourcing hazelnuts in shell

Product specification

In-shell hazelnuts are bought for the kernel inside, so the shell size and kernel quality both matter. Start with the intended end use, whether for whole kernel snack, ingredient, or cracking.

Crop & form

Specify raw, unblanched in-shell hazelnuts, crop year, and whether you need a natural or blanched style.

Size & grade

Agree on the calibre or size range (e.g., 38 mm or larger) and acceptable kernel fill. Distinguish between shell size and kernel weight.

Moisture & defects

Set moisture content limits and defect tolerance for mold, shrivel, or damaged shells. Ask for a reference sample to define the expected appearance.

Quality acceptance

A grade certificate alone does not guarantee flavor or shelf life. Agree on how the sample will be inspected and how it relates to the bulk shipment.

Kernel assessment
Crack and taste a sample to check for rancidity or mold. Ask for a cutting test across the lot to confirm kernel fill.
Physical checks
Measure shell dimensions, moisture, and defect counts against your specification.
Shipment condition
Agree on pre-shipment and arrival inspection procedures, including who samples and when claims must be filed.

Origin requirements

Orchard, regional blend, and flexible supply have different traceability needs. Define how specific an origin must be to match your product claims.

Traceability

Ask for the growing region, grower group or cooperative, and lot identity.

Crop & storage

Check when the nuts were harvested and dried, and where they are stored. In-shell nuts store better under controlled conditions, so confirm storage hygiene.

Alternative origins

For repeatable blends, define which origins you can accept if the preferred source is unavailable.

Commercial terms

Offers for in-shell hazelnuts may be on different size, weight, and delivery bases. Compare the total cost on the same terms.

Pricing unit: Clarify whether the price is per kilogram of in-shell product or per kernel weight equivalent. Align currency and Incoterm.
Delivery basis: Confirm whether the price is FOB at origin or CIF at destination. Align freight, insurance, and local charges.
Order terms: Set quantity, packaging weight, shipment period, and payment terms. Confirm if stock is available now or needs to be packed.

Documentation & compliance

Check that documents match the lot you are buying, not just the supplier’s general records. Requirements may depend on the destination country.

Commercial documentation: Align lot numbers, weights, and entities across the invoice, packing list, and transport document.
Phytosanitary rules: Confirm the plant-health certificate and any treatment requirements for the importing country. Ask the supplier to provide evidence if a certificate is claimed.
Destination requirements: For some markets, verify that the shipment meets specific import rules, such as aflatoxin limits or documentation for organic claims.

Supplier capability

The supplier may be the grower, huller, exporter, or a combination. Establish who is responsible for preparing and delivering your lot.

Processing
Ask who dries, sorts, sizes, and stores the nuts. Check what happens to rejects and how quality consistency is maintained.
Volume reliability
Ask how the supplier handles crop variation and whether it can offer consistent quality across seasons.
Order fit
Confirm minimum order size, sample provision, and ability to pack in your preferred bag type and weight.
