Processing
Harvesting in Hazelnut Groves
Cultivation
Drying
The Harvesting of Hazelnuts Cultivated in Piedmont and the Tonda Gentile Trilobata Variety is carried out mechanically or with vacuum machines, the harvest takes place in several stages starting from mid-August to allow the hazelnut to reach the right degree of ripeness
We are afamily-run farm, most of the field work is done by hand in an artisanal way, such as pruning and suckering or with mechanical equipment such as shredding dry branches
Once the hazelnuts are harvested in the field, the Cleaning of the harvest is carried out using an air cleaner that removes excess parts (stones, branches, etc.).
Once cleaned, the hazelnuts are left to dry in the courtyard on the sidewalk as was done in the past. Then they are placed in storage cages. After that, there is the calibration and shelling process .
Sizing and Shelling
The first phase of processing consists of the Calibration of the Hazelnut in Shell, which in turn allows access to the first phase of hazelnut transformation.
After this process, the hazelnut is shelled by mechanical processing.
Roasting
Roasting is definitely the most delicate phase of the entire production process. The largest fruits are roasted first so that their flavor and aroma stand out. Afterwards, they are manually checked twice for quality qualification. Finally, they are vacuum-packed to maintain the aroma and fragrance of the Nocciola Tonda Gentile Trilobata.
The resulting products are pearls of taste and quality: Toasted Hazelnut, Hazelnut Flour, Chopped Hazelnut, Large Chopped Hazelnut. The finished products are the result of experience, professionalism, and passion that characterize L'Azienda Agricola L'Arte della Nocciola.
All products packaged by the company are always packed with the best techniques to ensure excellent preservation for the consumer.
