Storage Advice
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Hazelnuts are oily and can go rancid with heat or light. Once opened, refrigeration helps maintain freshness. Freezing is also a good option for long‑term storage.
FAQs
Are these hazelnuts raw or roasted?
They are raw. No roasting, no flavourings, no salt—just natural hazelnuts as harvested.
Do these nuts contain any added oil or preservatives?
No, they are untouched beyond shelling and cleaning. No oils or preservatives are used.
Are they grown in Australia?
Yes. These hazelnuts are grown in Victoria’s High Country for Pepo Farms in Myrtleford & Mitta Mitta.
What’s the difference between raw and roasted hazelnuts in cooking?
Raw hazelnuts have a milder, sweeter flavour and retain more of their natural oils. Roasting increases flavour and aroma, but can change texture and reduce some delicate nutrients.
