Georgian in-shell hazelnuts are harvested at peak maturity, naturally dried, and carefully graded to ensure a high kernel yield. Protected by their hard outer shell, these nuts maintain their freshness and shelf stability over long storage periods. Available in a range of calibers, they are ideal for traditional consumption and further processing.
