Shelled Hazelnuts
Organic
Georgia
Pakka also supports family farmers by sharing its knowledge and technical expertise in organic farming. Using demonstration fields, they show farmers how to improve soil nutrient content and promote overall soil regeneration.
The shelled, roasted hazelnuts from Georgia are very crunchy, have a slightly sweet taste and pronounced roasted aromas. They are ideal paired with chocolate, for further processing, or for baking.

JILDA GEGECHKORI
FARMER FROM DARCHELI, GEORGIA
I love winter. By then, all the crops have been harvested and I have time to rest.
"I live in the western part of Georgia, in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region. Legend has it that this is the motherland of hazelnut cultivation. Most people in my village are involved in hazelnut production, my family included. We earn most of our income from hazelnut cultivation. My husband also makes worm compost, which provides our second source of income. He's an expert in soil fertility and tries to share his knowledge with the village as well."
Background
Are nuts a superfood or a problem for the environment?
Walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews – nuts can be part of a healthy and climate-friendly diet. But despite their low carbon footprint, they have been criticised for their impact on the environment and social responsibility – in many cases, rightly so.
