Hazelnuts have been part of human diets for thousands of years. Long before orchards existed, people gathered wild hazels as an essential source of calories, oils and winter nourishment. Their reliability, storability and rich flavour made them one of Europe’s earliest staple foods, valued in daily life and across generations.

Our hazelnut collection brings together a wide range of cultivars, including traditional European types and special botanical varieties rarely offered elsewhere. Each one carries its own history of flavour, shell quality and growth habit. By planting hazels, you help preserve a crop that has supported human communities since prehistory. Hazelnut trees are naturally resilient and productive.

For the best harvest, we recommend planting three different cultivars to ensure optimal pollination. Once established, a healthy plant often yields around three kilos of nuts from the fifth year onward. With three well-chosen varieties, most households can enjoy a steady nut supply throughout the entire year.

We invite you to explore our collection and discover the diversity within this ancient crop.
