WHO I am
My name is Marcello and I am the owner and founder of Vulcanica, a top-quality hazelnut importer. Originally from the Lazio region of Italy, I moved to the UK and discovered that the wonderful hazelnuts I remembered were not available in this country. Instead, the market was saturated with generic and low-grade options. As an ambitious entrepreneur with an appreciation for quality and my roots, I saw an opportunity and launched my own business importing superior-grade Italian hazelnuts. Vulcanica has grown to become the go-to provider for some of the most acclaimed companies in the UK, both large and small. We take great pride in offering the very best hazelnuts that my homeland has to offer.
WHAT we can offer to your business
When it comes to Hazelnut varieties, you won't find anything better than the Italian Romana variety. Boasting an intense aroma, full-bodied taste, and lingering finish, it is certainly the queen of hazelnuts. And with stock held in the UK, you don't have to order large quantities and wait for delivery. All our hazelnut ingredients are available in 5 kg packs and with no minimum order requirement, you can place your order whenever you want and we will dispatch it to you within 24 hours via DHL Express so you can get on with running your business and focus on what matters more to you.
WHY we can do it better
We are passionate about our work and the bond we share with our hazelnut trees. We strongly support the sourcing of ethically produced hazelnuts, of which most of the profits are kept within the Lazio region. An annual average of €15,000 per hectare enables thousands of independent growers to generate 6% of the global production across 25,000 hectares. We believe that a business which gives back to its community is a model of success.
CAN we supply large volumes?
Yes! When you need hazelnut ingredients in bulk we have the perfect solution for you! Through our partner cooperative in Italy, we are able to provide 20 ft or 40 ft containers of hazelnuts and arrange shipping directly to your facility. Not only that, but we handle all aspects of the order from the logistics to customs clearance. When you choose to work with Vulcanica, you can depend on our quantity, quality, and stability for a steady supply throughout the year.
