In addition to domestic sales, they are exported to Europe and other countries in the world. Its FERRERO processing plant is the world famous hazelnut food processing factory. The rock hazelnut chocolate produced by this factory has been sold in Beijing, Shanghai and Dalian. There are many types of products processed by the plant with hazelnuts, which are grouped into five categories and have dozens of products. Such as rock chocolate ball, hazelnut candy, hazelnut dessert, hazelnut chocolate sauce and ice cream. In addition, there are numerous hazelnut food processing products.
(b) Processing Technology

2. Turkish hazelnut processed products
In Turkey, 80% of hazelnut processed products are used in the chocolate and confectionery industry. Hazelnuts used in pasta, cakes, biscuits, and snacks account for 15% and 5% each.
The formula of hazelnut chocolate sauce is fat 20%～25%, hazelnut paste 10%～15%, milk powder 5%～10%, whey powder 3%～5%, cocoa powder 5%～10%, lecithin 0.3 %~O. 5%.
The production process of hazelnut chocolate sauce is as follows: In the production of hazelnut chocolate sauce, the main step is to mix the ingredients mentioned in the recipe with extra lecithin and some grease. In order to be able to adjust the amount of fat that is ultimately suitable for refining in the mixture, initially do not add all the oil to the mix. The mixture is refined to 20-25 microns. The refined flakes are sent to a refiner. In the refining process, lecithin and the remaining oil are added. The grinding process lasts 5 hours. Then, pump the final product into the storage tank. The temperature of the finished product should not exceed 60 °C. Before the dispensing operation, the temperature of the finished product needs to be cooled to 40°C. It is then automatically filled into glass or PVC containers of different capacities. The finished product after filling should be immediately cooled to 15°C to 20°C to form a crystal structure of fats and oils. In this structure, the liquid hazelnut oil is absorbed by the sauce. In this way, the precipitation of oil at high temperatures can be prevented. After the final cooling process, the product can be put on the market. After refrigerating, the extensibility of the product is a quality mark of the product.
