Mercadona Alesto Hazelnuts

These hazelnuts are a private-label product sold under the Mercadona brand, typically associated with their Hacendado or Alesto selection depending on the region. The packaging explicitly states the origin as Turkey, which is the world's leading producer of hazelnuts due to its favorable Black Sea climate.

Mercadona, the ultimate owner, is a major Spanish supermarket chain founded in Valencia. While they source products globally to ensure supply and price, they maintain strict quality control over their private-label snacks. The company remains a family-owned Spanish powerhouse, dominating the domestic retail market.
