Hazelnuts Information and Supply

Uren supplies premium hazelnuts in bulk, offered in multiple formats for commercial food production.

Known for their sweet, buttery flavour and crunchy texture, hazelnuts are widely used in confectionery, baking, and dairy-free formulations. They remain a core ingredient in everything from pralines and spreads to vegan cheese and snack bars thanks to their rich nutritional profile and strong consumer recognition.

At Uren, we’ve been supplying high-quality nuts in bulk for decades. Every batch of hazelnuts is selected, processed, and packed to ensure consistency, clean labelling, and long shelf life.


Why Hazelnuts?

Naturally Nutrient-Dense

Hazelnuts are a heart-healthy source of:

  • Monounsaturated fats, including oleic acid
  • Plant-based protein (15g per 100g)
  • Vitamin E, magnesium, copper, and antioxidants

They support cardiovascular health, immune function, and skin vitality. With high fibre and zero cholesterol, they’re well suited to modern, wellness-focused product lines.

Versatile and Well-Known

Hazelnuts feature in:

  • Chocolate spreads, pralines, and truffles
  • Cakes, pastries, and biscuits
  • Vegan butters and cheese-style pastes
  • Ice creams and nut-based drinks
  • Snack clusters and breakfast cereals

Roasting intensifies their natural flavour, while chopped, diced or ground formats allow flexible use across applications.
