Born in the nut groves

Founded in 1986 by a family of hazelnut growers, La Morella Nuts became part of Barry Callebaut in 2012. Because we are located in the middle of Spanish hazelnut orchards in the Reus area, passion for nuts and expertise from farm to application is part of who we are. 

Our name itself - La Morella - refers to the highest hill in the Garraf massif that watches over the Catalan coast. La Morella is also the name of the wind that blows from the South - from Reus and La Morella mountain - straight to Barcelona. 

And most of all, it's the name of one of the world's finest varieties of hazelnut tree.

While we closely work with Spanish nut cooperatives, we also source the best nuts over the world. From Italian hazelnuts to Californian almonds, from Texan pecan or Australian macadamia, we only select the best nut crops.

2. Experts in caramelization

It took years of experimenting to fine-tune different degrees of caramelization. La Morella nuts offer an array of light to high caramelizations that each deliver amazing flavors and textures. Whether caramel coats nuts (sablages), is mixed with nuts pieces (crocant) or poured onto a table and sprinkled with nuts (nougatine), we make our caramels ourselves, from scratch. Our caramelization experts know by sight when the product is at its best.
