¿Qué es Filbert?
A filbert is the fruit of the hazel tree, also commonly known as a hazelnut. These small, round to oval nuts are prized for their distinctively sweet, buttery flavor and crunchy texture. They are botanically true nuts, often encased in a leafy husk.
"While 'filbert' and 'hazelnut' are often used interchangeably, 'filbert' specifically refers to the elongated, more cylindrical varieties of hazelnut, particularly those grown commercially."
