Giresun Quality vs Levant Quality
Giresun quality: Tombul hazelnuts grown throughout Giresun province and in the Beşikdüzü, Vakfıkebir, Çarşıbaşı and Akçaabat districts of Trabzon. They blanch more readily than any other hazelnut variety in the world.
Levant quality: The collective name for hazelnuts grown outside this area. They contain less oil than Giresun quality, but are generally richer in oil and flavour than hazelnuts grown in other countries.
