Our Italian hazelnut orchards

Quality comes from the earth

Hazelnut is one of our main raw materials. We use only 100% exquisite Italian hazelnuts freshly roasted by Loacker.

Own cultivation program

To ensure permanent access to high-quality hazelnuts in the future, the idea for our own cultivation program "Noccioleti Italiani" ("Italian Hazelnut Orchards") was already born in 2011. Specifically in 2017, we started growing our own hazelnuts in Tuscany on two farms (Tenuta Corte Migliorina, Orbetello and Tenuta Collelungo, Roccastrada).

We now cultivate an area of around 275 hectares in this region. This is a forward-looking program that promotes regional agriculture, which we intend to expand further. From 2030, the program will cover most of our needs.

 

Valuable partnerships with local producers

We maintain long-term partnerships with farms in other Italian regions. Through direct supply contracts with these local producers, we guarantee the purchase of the entire production at an advantageous price model. Moreover, we offer farmers a wide range of services such as agronomic advice and the initial processing of nuts on site.

On June 14, 2022, we launched a partnership with Bonifiche Ferraresi for the sustainable cultivation of Italian hazelnuts. The program covers a total area of 400 hectares for the cultivation of different varieties of hazelnuts.
