About the product
Our organic hazelnuts come from the western Georgian region of Samegrelo – the cradle of all hazelnuts. They are grown by around 700 smallholder families, harvested by hand and gently processed in a modern facility. The hazelnuts are dried and vacuum-packed raw – directly at the source. This guarantees freshness and the highest product quality.
The hazelnuts have a nutty, sweet taste and a delicately tart note thanks to their skins. The removal of oxygen in the vacuum pack preserves the texture, aroma and nutrients in their original and healthiest form. Their crunchy consistency makes our hazelnuts a real nutty treat – on their own or as an ingredient.
Hazelnuts contain a lot of fibre and healthy unsaturated fatty acids. They are a source of vitamin E, B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, potassium and iron. This combination supports cardiovascular health, lowers cholesterol levels and has an antioxidant effect. As a nutrient-rich food, they support a balanced diet.
Ideal as a snack on its own, for baking, in muesli or for making hazelnut butter. Also versatile in hot dishes and when preparing sauces.
The organic hazelnuts come from Samegrelo in western Georgia. Around 700 small farming families cultivate 1-2 hectares of fields according to organic standards. After harvesting, the hazelnuts are dried and vacuum-packed at Pakka Georgia - the world's first organic and Fairtrade-certified hazelnut processor - in Chitatskari. This preserves the quality until the bags are opened.
Pakka has been supporting the development of a sustainable hazelnut value chain in Georgia since 2012. Thanks to a modern nut processing plant financed by Pakka and its partners, quality and yield have steadily increased. Today, Pakka Georgia employs around 150 people and processes up to 500 tonnes of hazelnuts per year. The aim is to achieve local, socially equitable and sustainable development for the entire region.
The organic hazelnuts are produced from A to Z in Georgia - directly in the country of origin of the raw material. Pakka deliberately favours direct trade without middlemen. In addition to paying fair prices, the harvests of the small farmers are pre-financed. This strengthens the entire local value chain and ensures fair incomes, high-quality products and sustainable local economic growth.
For every product sold, 5 pence goes to the Pakka Foundation to support projects in the countries of origin. More information: www.pakkafoundation.org
