Shelled filberts can be eaten whole, chopped, or ground. They can be added to cookies, cakes, and other desserts, or used in salads or to make a savory butter to flavor entrées and side dishes. Like many nuts, roasting filberts brings out their flavor. After roasting, filberts should be rubbed in a cloth while still hot to remove their skins.
There are more than 100 varieties of hazel trees, some of which are referred to as filberts. Filberts are slightly larger than other hazelnuts and were long cultivated in Italy near the city of Avellino. The French refer to filberts as avelines. Filberts grow on short trees that are planted in groves.
