Double Roasted Hazelnut Kernels
Double roasted hazelnut kernels are Giresun hazelnuts, shelled, sorted to a 13-15 mm calibre and pan-roasted in two separate stages. The second roast lowers the moisture a little further, which gives a darker colour, a crunch that lasts and a more pronounced aroma. Every pack in this category is vacuum sealed and contains no salt and no additives.
How to Choose
- 250 g — for one person, or for trying them first.
- 500 g — for households that snack regularly; better value per gram.
- For smaller, one-bite kernels, see the Piccola Hazelnuts category.
- For unroasted kernels, the Raw Hazelnuts category is where to look.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between double roasted and ordinary roasted?
The nuts are roasted in two separate stages rather than one. The second roast drives out a little more moisture, so the kernel is crisper and the aroma more concentrated.
Why does vacuum packing matter?
Hazelnuts are high in natural oils; exposed to air they lose their crunch first and their aroma soon after. A vacuum seal holds the post-roast freshness until you open the pack.
