Description
Eating hazelnuts from the shell comes with its own small ritual: a press of the thumb, a quiet crack, and a kernel that leaves its shell only when you are ready to eat it, which is exactly when a roasted nut is at its freshest. Our Giresun hazelnuts are roasted with the shell still on, then cracked open without being shelled. All through the roast, the shell keeps the kernel's aroma sealed inside. This pack is the plain one, with no salt added.
Why Buy Them in the Shell
- Aroma kept in: roasting in the shell stops the kernel's scent escaping.
- Ready to open: each shell arrives cracked, so no nutcracker is needed.
- Simply hazelnuts: 100% Giresun hazelnuts, with no salt, sugar or additives.
- Freshness that lasts: nuts in their shells stay fresh longer than shelled kernels.
- A snack that takes its time: one handful can see you through a long chat.
- Weighed with the shell: kernel yield is roughly half, so 500 g gives around 250 g of kernels.
- Fancy some salt? The same nut comes as 500g Salted Cracking Hazelnuts.
Storage Tips
Keep them in a closed container in a cool, dry spot, out of direct sunlight, and crack each nut as you eat it rather than shelling a heap in advance.
At the Table
Find the split, push gently with your thumb and the shell falls into two halves, leaving the kernel in your palm. That small pause between nuts makes them good company for tea or coffee, a football match or a long film, and you naturally eat at a gentler pace than from a bowl of loose kernels.

Your Questions Answered
Why choose in-shell hazelnuts over ready-shelled kernels?
The shell protects the kernel. It holds the aroma in during roasting and helps the nuts stay fresh for longer, and because you crack each one as you go, every kernel is eaten at its freshest.
Does humidity affect them?
Much less than it affects shelled kernels, as the shell is a natural barrier. Even so, keep the container closed and avoid leaving them standing open in a steamy kitchen for long.
Where are these hazelnuts grown?
In Giresun, Türkiye. The pack contains nothing but Giresun hazelnuts.
