Hazelnut Marketing Board

Nestled between the grandeur of the Cascade Mountains and the scenic Pacific Ocean lies Oregon’s Willamette Valley -- one of the world’s premiere agricultural regions. Over 99% of American hazelnuts are grown in this fertile valley. The rare combination of volcanic soils, moderate temperature and ample precipitation makes this the optimal region for hazelnut orchards. These thriving groves yield hazelnuts renowned globally for their unparalleled size, consistent quality and distinct flavor. Oregon hazelnuts boast a robust, buttery smooth flavor and are the ideal accent for exquisite entrees or decadent desserts. They are also great by themselves as a healthy yet decadent snack. Oregon hazelnuts come in many forms -- including roasted and natural kernels, meal, flour, sliced, diced, paste and oil -- making them easy to eat and use.
