The Turkish hazelnut, according to its quality is divided into two groups: Giresun and Levant.

Giresun Quality: "Giresun Quality" hazelnuts are those round-shaped hazelnuts, which grow throughout the entire province of Giresun and in certain districts of Trabzon such as Beşikdüzü, Vakfıkebir, Çarşıbaşı and Akçaabat. "Giresun Quality" hazelnuts are the world's highest-quality hazelnuts. Among the different hazelnut types in the world, the skin of these hazelnuts can be removed at a maximum level.

Levant Quality: This is the common name for all of the Turkish hazelnuts grown in the regions outside of the production area of "Giresun Quality" hazelnuts. These hazelnuts, which are named according to their production areas such as Levant Akçakoca, Levant Ordu, Levant Trabzon, and Levant Samsun, do contain generally more fat and are better in taste than the hazelnuts grown in other countries although they are poorer in fat content compared to the "Giresun Quality" hazelnuts.
