What we grow / Nuts / Hazelnuts
The mild Tasmanian summer aids the production of hazelnuts which have good flavour and colour and are highly sought after by local consumers.
The latitude in Tasmania and cool climate conditions allows hazelnuts to mature slowly, harvested typically in March and April. Here, nuts are stored in shell and therefore retain great flavour and freshness.
The value of Tasmanian production is approximately $2 million. Tasmania contributes about 30% of national production of hazelnuts.
