250gr Piccola Hazelnuts Vacuum Packed

Piccola hazelnuts are small kernels sorted to an 8-9 mm calibre. A smaller kernel takes heat more evenly, so piccola roasts more uniformly than a large nut and eats as a single, neat bite. The 250 g vacuum pack suits both snacking and baking, where you want whole kernels rather than chopped ones.

Key Features

• 8 - 9 mm calibre: small, round, one-bite kernels.
• The smaller kernel roasts more evenly, for a balanced aroma throughout.
• 100% Giresun hazelnuts; no salt, sugar or additives.
• Pan-roasted in the traditional way.
• Vacuum packed to hold crunch and freshness until opened.
• The right size to use whole in pastry work.

How to Enjoy

Because the kernels are small, you can fold them whole into cakes, cookies, brownies and chocolate recipes without chopping, and they distribute evenly through the batter. They are equally good by the handful, or scattered over yoghurt and granola at breakfast. In homemade chocolate bars they hold their shape well.

Storage

After opening, keep them in a cool, dark, dry place in a tightly closed jar. A small kernel has more surface area relative to its weight than a large one, so piccola loses freshness a little faster once exposed to air. If you use them only occasionally, the fridge is the better home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between piccola and regular hazelnut kernels?
Size. Piccola is sorted at 8-9 mm, while our double roasted kernels are 13-15 mm. Same orchards, same nut — piccola is simply smaller and eats in one bite.

Why do bakers prefer them?
A small kernel spreads evenly through batter without chopping, so every slice gets its share, and it is less likely to scorch in the oven than a large nut.

Are they salted?
No. The pack contains roasted hazelnuts only — no salt and no other additions.
