Hazelnuts, also known as filberts, are premium round-shaped tree nuts grown on hazel trees, with Turkey producing nearly 70% of the world’s supply. They have a naturally sweet, rich, and buttery flavor with a smooth yet crunchy texture, making them a key ingredient in chocolates, spreads, pralines, confectionery, and bakery products worldwide. Naturally gluten-free and versatile, they can be enjoyed raw, roasted, salted, or processed into hazelnut butter and premium food products.
