From Raw Material Craft
to High-Capacity Confectionery Industry.
Özden Confectionery is an integrated industrial facility governing every phase under its own roof—from raw material selection to ball mill micronization, stone conching, and automated sterile packaging.
Engineering precision,
pure food ethics.
In the production of chocolate and cocoa hazelnut spreads, quality is not a matter of chance; it is the outcome of exact temperatures, precise micronization, and unyielding ingredient standards.
Our facilities never use cheap fillers, palm oil fractions, or synthetic flavor enhancers. In-shell hazelnuts procured from the Giresun and Ordu basins are roasted in our ovens under gradual temperature profiles that unlock their natural oils and aroma. They are subsequently refined in ball mills to a silky micron scale with zero tongue-feel grit.
From Harvest to Sealed Jar: Production Flow
The disciplined industrial stages we maintain for unvarying superior taste and homogeneous texture in every batch.
Hazelnut Selection & Gradual Oven Roasting
The freshest Black Sea hazelnuts pass through optical sorting; following moisture, acidity, and aroma tests, they are roasted under gradual heat curves in our specialized ovens to eliminate bitterness.
Ball Mill Micron Refining Below 20 Microns
Roasted hazelnuts and premium cocoa solids undergo hours of continuous friction in stainless steel ball mills, reducing particle size below 20 microns for flawless silkiness.
Traditional Stone Conching & Aromatic Maturation
The chocolate paste is continuously kneaded and aerated in stone conches for 24 hours. Tannins soften, volatile acidity evaporates, and a luxurious velvet sheen emerges.
Pure Ingredient & Food Safety Standards
No hydrogenated oils, palm oil fractions, or glucose-fructose syrups ever enter the line. We rely solely on crystal sugar derived from domestic sugar beets and pure vegetable fats.
Positive-Pressure Cleanroom Filling & Cold Dispatch
Products are touch-free filled into sterile glass jars and industrial pails in positive-pressure cleanrooms with filtered air. Induction sealed and checked through metal detectors.
Quality Assurance & Lot Traceability
Every single production batch undergoes exhaustive laboratory analysis prior to reaching consumers and business partners.
Micrometer & Viscosity Calibration
Melt-in-mouth profile, fluid rheology, and micron particle scale are verified with precision instruments at the beginning and end of each lot.
Microbiological & Chemical Analysis
Aflatoxin, moisture, peroxide values, and total plate counts are monitored under accredited food laboratory standards for total reliability.
Ingredient Purity & Recipe Verification
Incoming fat and cocoa raw materials are authenticated via gas chromatography; no foreign or industrial filler fats are ever accepted.
QR Code & Lot Retrospective Traceability
Through the lot number printed on the lid, every jar can be traced back to its specific hazelnut harvest, roasting oven, time, and technician.
