Toasted Hazelnut Oil

Sometimes referred to as a filbert or cobnut, the hazel tree belongs to the birch family of trees and shrubs (Betulaceae). The term hazelnut refers to all nuts produced by the hazel tree, including the cobnut and filberts. Cobnuts tend to be more oval in shape as opposed to the filbert which is slightly elongated, can you spot the difference?

Hazelnuts are cultivated in many places across the world, including Turkey and the USA. Lush buys an oil made out of a European variety of the nut, grown in France. They are previously toasted to give the oil a roasted perfume and an even more delicious taste.
