These were absolutely delicious! Very fresh! There was just the right amount of salt. Perfect to eat alone or in recipes. I crushed some to adorn cookies with. They crush very nicely with the back of a spoon. Hazelnuts are hard to find here so I was delighted when I found them here!!

Fresh and delicious

I'm always worried about food products when ordering online, but boy have I've been impressed with this company. I've ordered these nuts three times now because they always come fresh, crunchy and oh so good! Hazelnut are by far my favorite nuts, but they can be a bit expensive. This bag not only gives you great tasting Hazelnuts, but at a great price for the quantity you get. Highly recommend them. Eat them right out of bag, add them to recipes or make nut milk from them. The possibilities are endless with these great tasting nuts.

Yummy

I looked at all the hazelnut offerings available before ordering this product. I actually thought I had ordered salted nuts, but see here and on my package that I did not. Frankly I did not notice when eating the nuts. They are deliciously perfect and don't need salt.

I selected these based on a review that said they came sealed in foil to maintain freshness, and they did indeed. Also because they had a number of positive reviews, although most were not very descriptive.

I've eaten Hazelnuts all my life and I love them. I have to say I never thought about buying them all by themselves, but through the luxury of Amazon we can have anything we want, so I decided to buy some. I have absolutely no idea what Turkish Hazelnuts are and so had no expectations, but I looked it up and this is really just another way of saying Hazelnuts since Turkey produces 80% of all the nuts produced in the world. With demand increasing around the world (especially in China) and these nuts being needed to make products like Nutella folks like me are lucky to get our hands on any nuts not in a product! In fact, one little town in Turkey produces almost all of these beauties and if they have bad weather the world crop suffers, as it did in 2013, and the price goes sky high.

These Hazelnuts are delicious and perfectly dry roasted. The skins are all removed (blanched). Hazelnuts have a tendency to have the occasional bitter nut and I doubt any supplier can prevent that, but these are 98% (my unscientific estimate) sweet and delicious. I do not miss the salt at all, personally. They are really good.

At $13.43 per pound including shipping this seems like an excellent price. The cost is about $.84/oz. Deluxe mixed nuts at Costco cost $21.49 for a 2.5 pound container (plus your membership of course). The deluxe nuts are made up of much less expensive nuts--about 50% almonds. The cost is $.54/oz. By comparison the cost of the pure hazelnuts doesn't seem extreme.

This is a good buy for a highly specialized product. I'll definitely be reordering. In fact I think I'll order as soon as I finish writing this. (Note: I'm on my fourth bag. I have a severely restricted diet and these nuts add some luxury to my life that I don't get any other way. The cost is worth it to me.)
