Frequently Asked Questions

Allu hazelnuts are grown in an ecologically certified plantation and maintained without chemical herbicides. We weed by hand and don't look for shortcuts to maximize profit or harvest. If we purchase the raw material from other manufacturers, they must meet the same high standards. The goal is for each hazelnut to naturally store all the nutrients and delicious taste rarely found in other hazelnuts available on the market. That's the only way you can get spreads that don't need to be artificially sweetened and that's the only way you can enjoy the benefits of hazelnuts.

The hazelnuts we sell are of the tastiest Italian varieties and come to a large extent from the plantations of organically certified hazelnut producers locally, nationally and even internationally. Each plantation and producer is checked, firstly by the organic certification body, and secondly by us in our own laboratory. That's because the Allu plantation, although it is ecologically cared for, has not yet reached the maturity necessary to ensure the constant flow of the entire chain of products available online.

The validity period is 12 months from the date of manufacture. We recommend that you check the term on the packaging of the purchased product.

Bio, eco or organic are all products that are composed of at least 95% ecologically certified ingredients. Allu products meet all the conditions necessary to use the organic or eco label as they are certified in compliance, containing 100% ecologically certified ingredients. Thus, we guarantee the benefits of hazelnuts.

The ecological certificate is issued by Ecocert SRL, RO-ECO-007. It can be downloaded from here .

Most Allu products contain only plant-based ingredients. We use some ingredients of animal origin, such as honey in Vivity and Noc Noc products. We recommend that you consult the label and description of each product you are interested in.

Yes, the magnesium in hazelnuts can help regulate blood sugar levels, which can be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes. For example, Alunette 100% hazelnut cream is recommended in small amounts for diabetics. Being rich in fat and having slow-absorbing carbohydrates, it lowers the glycemic index, while being a delicacy.

We have promotions constantly. To be aware of them, we recommend that you follow us on social media, on Facebook , Instagram or TikTok , where we always communicate them.

We could do a whole article here. We will be as brief as we can. Peanuts are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, healthy fats and protein.

They contain vitamins from the B complex, vitamin E, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and potassium. They contain antioxidants, which protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

They also contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial for heart health.

Due to their vitamin E and magnesium content, peanuts can contribute to brain health and help prevent age-related cognitive decline.

Each hazelnut product stores most of the nutrients, being unaltered by artificial or unnecessary ingredients. However, whole, raw hazelnuts, along with cold-pressed hazelnut oil or other products with hazelnuts as the only ingredient, are the options that retain all the benefits of hazelnuts.

Although we have successfully implemented projects, we do not provide consulting for the creation of projects of this type. Instead, we offer advice and guidance to anyone interested in the preparation of documentation and the subsequent implementation of projects. The preparation of the file for submitting the project must be done independently or together with a specialist in the field.

Farmers can form a partnership with us once they become members of the Alunia Association. We are open to collaborations with distributors, retailers, restaurants, online stores, confectioneries, fairs and more. We believe that once we have a common goal, we can find a collaborative solution that works for all parties involved.
