Anna and Sarah Oregon Hazelnuts in Resealable Bag, 5lbs 1 Pack

Every year since I was a little girl, I’m now 73, we had what we called Filberts during the Christmas season along with Satsumas and oranges. For the past few years they’ve become harder to find in any grocery store. This year I decided to see if they were available online and, lo and behold, here they are on Amazon. The many sellers made it a challenge for me to pick which one to choose. Next I had to consider another issue. My hands. For the past few years I have lost cartilage in my thumb joints making it difficult for me to do normal things and which has caused me considerable discomfort. So, after careful consideration, I decided to purchase the shelled hazelnuts. Still, I needed to choose which company to buy from. I chose Anna and Sarah. It was definitely the right decision.I began with the one pound bag not knowing what to expect. When they arrived, I opened the bag and reached in. To my delight they were delicious. Like every bag I’ve ever bought before this there were a couple of not so great ones that didn’t taste very good but this is expected with any variety of nut. Before I finished the first bag, I ordered another only this time around I purchased a 2 pound one. It finally arrived today much later than expected probably due to the Christmas buying season but this bag will last me through the season. These are just as fresh and delicious as my first bag. If I’m still around next year, I’ll be ordering again from Anna and Sarah to enjoy my Filberts along with my backyard oranges and Satsumas.

Big bag of shelled hazelnuts. Makes for a fast tasty healthy snack.

Good quality ,real jumbo size, we’ll make my own hazelnut chocolate bar

We have had good luck in the past ordering the hazelnuts from Anna and Sarah Oregon but in the shell. By mistake, I ordered this five pound bag but they had been shelled. I thought I was buying more nuts per pound but these are not worth it. I know this isn't harvest season but these nuts do not taste good at all. Guess I will have to "eat" this purchase but in the future I will be more careful to buy the whole nut

It is at Anna and Sarah that I finally found good and fresh filberts. Much better than from another place that I tried before. I have just ordered 3 more pounds.Update 8/28/16 (Changed the rating from 5 to 4 stars.)After receiving two the 3-pound orders, I noticed that they were different from my 1-pound order. In the one-pound order the skin was very light and was falling off the nuts real easy. In the three-pound order the skin is hard and dry, and has to be scraped off with the finger nails or the teeth. After while it gets a little annoying. They still are edible, but I guess I have to continue searching for something a little better.

Fresh good texture.

If you like to eat hazelnuts on the go or if you like to bake a moka or any other gourmet cake, then do not hesitate, choose this US brand. The dry fruits are from Oregon, but packed in New Jersey. The packet contains 454 gr of these jumbo hazelnut (quasi one pound) and its special lock garanties their freshness. Yes, these hazelnuts have such an aroma!!! Especially if like me you roast them 11 minutes in the oven at 356 F: OMG, what a sudden nice and nutty scent in the house!!! Then you can put them in a cloth and take the peel out. Once you are done, pour the roasted hazelnuts in your Blender...to obtain a delicious spread!!! Look at my praliné on the picture up above. These are absolutely delicious and...affordable! I am so happy to have bought them in particular. It is difficult to find hazelnuts that have a decent size and taste. They are easy to work with and were so tasty in my choco cake up above! These are just perfect and remember that eating nuts moderately everyday I is very healthy!

Great nuts. These are tastes with a little sweetness. Exactly what I wanted in a raw nut. I will get these every time I need more.
