The hybrid hazel flavor dilemma-
This is an email from 2011 - the very first time anyone EVER asked about hybrid hazel flavor. This is my response- I've deleted the persons name and email, since I haven't asked permission- From: @amorino.fr Date: November 21, 2011 8:08:58 AM CST To: "info@badgersett.com" Subject: Inquiry Hello, I am currently living in France and working for an Italian gelato company..we use Piedmont hazelnut paste and roasted nuts in the production of our different ice creams...I would be interested to know about your hybrid nuts and how they compare taste-wise to Italian hazelnuts. I see your products are available at Heartland...I ate there in August ( I didn't notice your products at the time)...I may ask my Highland Park based brother to pick up a packet and send them. Kind regards, Dear Mr.-- I'm delighted to have your inquiry! You'll be interested to know- and I hope, appalled, as I am- that your inquiry about the actual taste of the hybrid hazels is the first...
