Merveille de Bollwiller
B tier
Merveille de Bollwiller is a historic European hazelnut cultivar name associated with large nuts and traditional orchard plantings. Kernels offer classic sweet hazelnut character when fresh and carefully roasted; the “marvel” is more about form and heritage than a guarantee against rancidity. Cool storage still rules quality. Use for snacks, baking, and specialty European lists that favour heritage names. Freeze surplus, roast pale, inspect for shell grit. Major tree-nut allergen rules apply. Compared with modern high-volume Turkish export types, this is a quieter heritage cultivar. Taste before grinding into butter or paste.
