Lewis

B tier

Lewis is an Oregon-bred hazelnut cultivar developed for modern Pacific Northwest orchards, balancing kernel quality with improved agronomic traits compared with older plantings. Roasted meats deliver classic sweet, aromatic hazelnut flavour for baking, snacks, and confectionery when fresh. Cool storage still decides quality more than the breeding story. Roast pale gold, rub skins for pastry, freeze surplus. Major tree-nut allergen handling applies. Compared with Barcelona, Lewis is part of the newer Oregon generation aimed at sustainable commercial supply. Use pieces in cookies and wholes for garnish when grade allows. Taste before large paste runs.
