Our process enables us to ensure a product of superior and constant quality. Our raw materials are carefully selected and we carry out all the different processing stages of raw hazelnuts and cocoa ourselves, in our factory in Ghana.
Starting from the gentle roasting, to the pre-refining and refining processes in cylinders, the raw materials are transformed from their natural state of dried fruit to a hazelnut paste that releases the full range of aromatic and characteristic notes of the original nuts. All this, combined with the other ingredients, is immediately packaged in a safe environment and sent to our automated and air-conditioned warehouse, where a temperature of 12 °C is maintained year-round. The finished product is packaged in just 8 hours from the time we receive the raw hazelnuts, maintaining all the characteristics of the fresh product, always natural and uniform.
