3. HAZELNUTS Groups, Types and Sizes Hazelnuts Groups : Rounded, Pointed and Long Hazelnuts Hazelnuts Origins : Giresun, Akçakoca, Samsun/Ordu, Trabzon. GİRESUN QUALITY Grown throughout Giresun and part of neighboring Trabzon, hazelnut production here has been famous for centuries. Besides having a nice round shape, they have the highest oil content and the most delicious taste. Furthermore, their skins can be removed easily and quickly. AKCAKOCA QUALITY Grown in the Western region of Black Sea these nuts are lower in fat content compared to the other varieties and are very suitable for the confectionery industry due to the ease in bonding with chocolate. LEVANT QUALITY Hazelnuts grown in all other areas of Turkey are known as Levant quality. Although Levant quality contains less oil than Giresun but slightly higher than Akcakoca. The fat content is generally higher than the nuts produced in countries other then Turkey therefore the taste is still superior.
