Butler #22 - Roasted Hazelnut Purée

The Butler is a hazelnut with character, appreciated for its generous size, clean bite, and pleasant mouthfeel. It offers a balanced texture: less melt-in-your-mouth than an oil-rich Tonda, but more structured in applications where the hazelnut needs to remain distinct. Raw, it presents notes of fresh dried fruit, mild vegetation, and raw almond. Roasted, it gains depth with aromas of toasted cereals, warm hazelnut, light bread, and a slight woody nuance. Its progressive aromatic profile, texture, and good performance in processing make it an interesting variety for textured purées, distinctive pralines, savory preparations, biscuits, fillings, and inclusions where taste, structure, and consistency are desired.
