Overview
Hazelnut Corylus maxima Filbert
Native to the mediterranean region, but now grown all over Europe and North America, the Hazelnut bears sugary sweet savoured nuts on easily maintained, relatively little trees which are roughly six metres tall. The native American hazelnut C. americana is more resistant to winter cold compared with the European hazelnut C.avellana, but the European species produces the larger nuts.
The Black Sea coast of Turkey is one of the biggest producing areas of hazelnuts in the world. It's a coastal vegetable which likes to live 30 kilometres from the shore, at an altitude of 750 1800 metres above sea level. The climate is a significant reason why the hazelnut thrives in this region. Along the coast it rains ten months a year and sees less compared with 2000 hours of sunshine per year. Although this is not great news for beach goers, it is for those of you are enamoured by hazelnuts. Hazelnuts are also being grown in New South Wales, Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there natural oil in the top of the jar?
Melrose nut spreads are made from 100 Percent lightly roasted nuts.
Unlike most peanut butters the natural, healthful oils in Melrose nut spreads are not submitted to hydrogenation. In normal spreads this hydrogenation turns liquid natural oils into solids so that they will not separate out. However hydrogenation also produces trans fatty acids and these have negative health effects.
* Melrose nut spreads contain only natural, healthful oils.
* Melrose Nut spreads contain no hydrogenated Natural Oils.
* Melrose nut spreads contain no trans fats.
When utilising Melrose nut spreads, simply stir in the natural, healthful oils. Do not pour off the natural oil as this will leave you with a dry spread.
Aren't nuts fattening?
Nuts are nutrifying, revitalising health promoting foods and when eaten in moderation have no association with weight gain. Although nuts are generally elevated in fat, this fat is mostly monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat. Nuts also have an elevated fullness value i.e. they make you feel complete for a relatively low kilojoules consumption which may benefit weight loss.
