Nuts
Butler
B tier
Butler is a hazelnut cultivar used in commercial plantings as a productive orchard type with usable table and bakery kernels. Flavour follows the sweet, aromatic hazelnut family when roasted carefully and stored cool. Named Butler stock helps growers and some buyers track orchard composition beyond anonymous bulk labels. Process like other English/European hazels: pale roast, optional skin rub, freeze surplus. Major tree-nut allergen rules apply. Do not expect a unique candy profile—expect clean hazelnut character judged by harvest year. Sort out dark or shrivelled pieces before they enter flour or butter. Good for cookies, snacks, and general pastry inclusion.
