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.

it’s perfect nice.

When I opened the package and tasted my first nut, wasn't impressed. Yes it was fresh, but didn't have the flavor I was expecting, blah taste. Then I realized they weren't roasted. So I popped them into my convection oven and set the temperature to 300 and 10 min. Less blah, but not yet Roasty Toasty. Reset my stove for another 15 min. Almost there. Another 10 min on 450. Now that's a taste to die for if you like Hazelnuts.

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.

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

Fresh good texture.

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