Import Hazelnuts — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Australia

Mercatofoods Pty Ltd offers raw hazelnuts sourced from Australian orchards. The nuts are small and round, with a typical diameter of 15‑20 mm and a sweet, nutty flavour. Each kernel contains approximately 14‑15 % protein and a moisture content of 4‑5 % under typical storage conditions. The product complies with the general food safety expectations for tree nuts sold in bulk.

Hazelnuts can be supplied in raw, roasted or salted forms, with the latter two processed according to standard industry roasting temperatures of 140‑160 °C. Shell percentage for Australian hazelnuts usually ranges between 30‑35 % and the kernels are sorted to a typical purity of 98 % after cleaning. The nuts are packed in bulk polypropylene bags, commonly 1‑tonne capacity, which protects them from moisture and physical damage during transport. Standard export quality checks include visual inspection, moisture measurement and aflatoxin testing according to Codex Alimentarius.

Typical buyers include confectionery manufacturers, bakery producers and health‑food distributors who require consistent size and flavour profiles. Importers should confirm the minimum order quantity, preferred Incoterms and payment terms directly with Mercatofoods before placing an order. Shipping is usually arranged from the Port of Melbourne, allowing efficient sea freight to major Asian and European markets.

Mercatofoods Pty Ltd is based in Victoria, Australia, with the registered address in the 3083 postcode region. The company holds a harbor trust tier on the platform, indicating a verified business profile. Its location within a major hazelnut‑producing region enables direct sourcing from local growers.

The supplier’s response metrics show a response rate of 0 % and no average response time recorded, suggesting limited recent communication. Mercatofoods lists hazelnuts as its primary export commodity and does not provide additional product lines in this entry. Buyers should therefore reach out directly to assess current availability and service capacity.
