Common questions from importers about sourcing, quality, and exporting Hazelnut (Pahadi Badam) from India.
-
What are the size and quality standards for your hazelnuts?We export hazelnuts in standard sizes including 11-13mm and 13-15mm. Our quality standards ensure a low moisture content (around 5%), high oil yield, and uniform calibrated sizing, available in both natural and blanched forms.
-
How does Aethon Overseas source its premium hazelnuts?Our hazelnuts are sourced from premium orchards that prioritize sustainable farming and high-yield varieties. We work with processing units that use modern laser sorting to ensure every nut is free from defects and internal decay.
-
What is the shelf life and storage recommendation for export-grade hazelnuts?Hazelnuts have a shelf life of 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place (below 10°C). For bulk exports, we recommend vacuum packaging or nitrogen-flushed bags to preserve the delicate aroma and prevent the oxidation of natural fats.
-
What are the key industrial applications for hazelnuts in confectionery?Hazelnuts are a cornerstone of the global confectionery industry, widely used in premium chocolate spreads, pralines, and truffles. They are also a favorite in the bakery sector and increasingly used as a gourmet flavor in the specialty coffee industry.
