La Morella nuts is continuously extending its line of nut-related products with wonderful flavors, exciting colours, amazing crunch and unexpected combinations. The nut expert is mainly stocked up on hazelnuts and almonds by local nut growers. These local varieties provide an extremely high quality and intense flavor. Besides locally grown Spanish nuts, the company's current offering also includes Piemonte hazelnuts from Italy and premium Californian almonds, as well as pistachios, pecans, cashew nuts, walnuts and many other varieties expertly selected and sourced from cooperatives all over the world.
 
La Morella nuts ensures that all nuts are freshly cracked following the specific client-order. In fact, all nuts are processed freshly within 24 hours before delivery. To achieve this result, la Morella nuts works closely together with a fine selection of local nut orchards and suppliers. The nut growers pick up the nuts from the ground immediately after they have fallen from the trees. Then they bring them to collection centers where they are stored under the best conditions, in their shell. Local nut groves in close proximity to the factory ensure freshly cracked nuts, with their true, natural flavors preserved. The unique nut roasting process technology, developed by la Morella nuts, releases all the flavors of the nuts. As a result, Barry Callebaut can offer nuts that reveal more fruitiness, less sweetness and above all, are of an unrivalled freshness. When a nut has all that, it has earned the label "la Morella nuts".
