Those who know hazelnut source it from Turkey and those who look for the best, ask for Giresun hazelnuts!

The taste, texture, and fat composition of hazelnut define their quality of hazelnut. Great hazelnut agriculture requires an optimal climate with an average annual temperature of 13-16 degrees celsius, at least 750 mm annual rainfall, and a slightly acidic soil structure rich in nutrients. Black Sea region of Turkey meets all these conditions, allowing it to grow the best quality and most delicious nuts.

The gold standard of Turkish hazelnuts is the Giresun hazelnuts. This unique type has the highest level of skin separation and quality among the types in the world. In June 2022, European Commission granted Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status for premium "Giresun Tombul" hazelnuts from Türkiye's Black Sea region. In order to be granted PDO status, a product must meet certain criteria, including being produced in a specific region using traditional methods and having a unique characteristic that is the result of that region's particular environment, culture, and way of life.

The term "tombul" means "round" in Turkish, and these hazelnuts are known for their round, symmetrical shape. According to the EU Commission report, taste, flavor, and aroma left by the raw and roasted forms of 'Giresun Tombul Hazelnut' in the mouth are very intense. They are easy to chew and do not leave a feeling of dryness in the mouth, and the oil of the nuts is felt.
