Segorbe

B tier

Segorbe is a Spanish hazelnut cultivar associated with eastern Spanish production, valued for commercial kernels that roast into the familiar sweet, aromatic hazelnut profile. Freshness and cool storage matter more than the regional name: good Segorbe tastes clean; bad Segorbe tastes of varnish. Use in baking, snacks, Spanish sweets, and confectionery. Freeze surplus and rub skins when pale pastes are required. Major tree-nut allergen rules apply. Compared with Negret, Segorbe is another Spanish commercial pillar rather than a radically different flavour family. Sample before committing expensive chocolate formulas.
