Shipping Hazelnuts from Turkey to Syria, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia: Cost and Time

What matters when shipping Turkish hazelnuts

The cost of hazelnuts follows their actual weight, so large sacks are cheapest travelling by land with other loads, while a small gift goes by air.

Roasted, raw and paste

Turkey is one of the largest hazelnut producers, mostly from the Black Sea coast. Roasted ones are for snacking, raw blanched ones for baking, and hazelnut paste for spreads and cakes; store opened packs away from heat and damp.

Raw and roasted hazelnuts

Raw hazelnuts suit roasting yourself for chocolate and sweets, while roasted ones are ready to eat but lose crispness faster. Ask about the roasting date, since fresher is better, and avoid nuts with a smell of old oil.

Size and grading

Hazelnuts are graded by size in millimetres, and larger ones cost more though the taste barely changes. For sweets and grinding pick the cheaper small sizes, and for snacking and gifts the large selected ones. For hazelnut paste and small shops the middle grade is enough, and it helps to ask for a sample of each grade and compare crunch before a large order.

Large sacks of hazelnuts

Hazelnuts are often sold in five and ten kilo sacks, which split if carried by the corners in a carton. Ask for the sacks to go inside reinforced boxes strapped with tape, and do not stack them too high.
