Hazelnut flavored coffees are among the most popular flavored coffees on the market. The tradition of flavoring coffee with hazelnuts goes back many centuries. According to tradition, alpine monks added crushed hazelnuts to their coffee for flavor. Why did these monks choose hazelnuts and not another type of nut to do this? Hazelnuts were plentiful and inexpensive as a flavoring agent.
Hazelnuts have been used in confectionery to make pralines, something the monks most likely made for themselves and their communities. Many people also used hazelnuts a lot in combination with chocolate to make truffles and other chocolate treats. Hazelnut oil, pressed from hazelnuts, has also been used as a strongly flavored oil in many dishes in many countries for a long time.
Hazelnuts offer health benefits when eaten on their own or along with coffee. Hazelnuts are rich in protein and unsaturated fat, and also contain significant amounts of vitamin B1 (thiamin, thiamin), a soluble vitamin that easily enters and leaves the body every day. Why not combine the powerful antioxidants of coffee with the health benefits of hazelnuts by chewing on some tasty hazelnuts while enjoying a delicious cup of premium specialty coffee? Even better, brew it with a cup or two of hazelnut-flavored coffee and get all the hazelnut aroma and flavor without the “fuss” of grinding the nuts and adding them to the coffee. Be sure to get freshly roasted gourmet coffee to order, “plain” or flavored, to enjoy with your healthy hazelnuts (the dark chocolate covered ones are especially good).
There are many coffee and hazelnut flavor combinations available for coffee lovers. They are sold whole bean or ground, as well as regular or decaf hazelnut-flavored coffee options. Some of the most popular hazelnut-flavored gourmet coffee selections, all made with rich specialty 100% premium Arabica bean coffee, include:
Hazelnut Vanilla: This coffee has the pleasant hazelnut flavor combined with vanilla. Vanilla is a very familiar and inexpensive spice. It is mainly used for flavoring and aromatic uses. Vanilla dates back to Mesoamerican times when the ancient peoples of Mexico used it in their rituals. Today, vanilla is grown in many places around the world, including Mexico, Madagascar, and Indonesia. An interesting fact about the vanilla plant is that the vanilla flower is an orchid that produces a fruit. This fruit is the result of flower pollination which is actually quite difficult for the vanilla plant. Why? Because the plant has female and male organs that naturally separate to prevent self-pollination. Natural pollination is carried out by a single type of bee native to Mexico. In other parts of the world where vanilla is grown, pollination is done by hand or artificially.
Hazelnut cream: Hazelnuts are very versatile and go very well with cream. Together, they form a rich and wonderful combination of flavors that does not overpower the natural aroma and flavor of the coffee.

So with your hazelnut cream flavored gourmet coffee, have a few hazelnuts and enjoy the delicious benefits of both.
