1892 Cultivated Hazel Kentish Nuts Varieties Cobnuts Filberts Hazel Nuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1892, showcases two exquisite varieties of hazel nuts: Cobnuts and Filberts. The image transports us back in time to an era when the cultivation of these historical nut varieties held significant importance in agricultural communities. Cobnuts and Filberts, both derived from the common hazel tree (Corylus avellana), have been cherished for their distinct flavors and textures since ancient times. Cobnuts, also known as common hazelnuts, are characterized by their large size and smooth, thin shells. Filberts, on the other hand, have a more oblong shape and a thicker, more difficult-to-crack shell. The history of Cobnuts and Filberts can be traced back to the Mediterranean and Central Europe, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years. In the British Isles, particularly in Kent, these nuts gained immense popularity and were often referred to as "Kentish Cobnuts" and "Kentish Filberts." This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of nut cultivation. Cobnuts and Filberts were not only consumed for their delicious taste but also held cultural significance. They were used in various traditional recipes, religious ceremonies, and even as a form of currency. The intricate process of harvesting and preparing these nuts was a labor-intensive endeavor, requiring great care and patience. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the historical, cultivated varieties of hazel nuts that have graced our tables and traditions for centuries. The Cobnuts and Filberts in this image serve as a testament to the enduring allure and importance of these humble yet delectable nuts in our human history.
