Hazelnut (corylus avallana)

Also called Filberts or Cobnuts, Hazelnuts grow on small spreading trees, inside a fuzzy outer husk, that as it ripens, reveals a hard-shell housing a nutritious, edible kernel. Of all the nuts the Hazelnut is prized for its rich, sweet, creamy flavour and distinctive aroma. Hazelnut is considered the most ‘royal’ of nuts as it is associated with the most decadent desserts and the grandest gourmets.

A splash of Hazelnut Essence is a great way to sweeten coffee but with the added bonus of that ‘creamy’ flavour. This delicious Hazelnut Essence can be served as syrup and can be drizzled lightly onto ice cream and other desserts. You can also add this delicious treat to your milkshake or cocktail for that extra nutty flavour and a sweet, toasty aroma.
