Hazelnut of Reus

Food and drink · Reus, Baix Camp, Tarragona

The Reus hazelnut is a designation of origin protected since 1997 covering the negreta, paueteta, gironella, morella and culplana varieties, grown in the comarques of the Alt Camp, the Baix Camp, the Conca de Barberà, the Priorat, the Tarragonès and the Terra Alta; its regulatory council is based in Reus. About 9,000 hectares are cultivated, with an annual production of between 5,000 and 6,000 tonnes, and the fruit is sold in the shell, shelled or roasted, in two sizes: very large, 18 millimetres, and large, 16. Roasted, it is used in turrón, sauces and the comarca's traditional pastry-making.
