Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Laurel Foods is a family-founded, vertically integrated food company producing some of the highest-quality hazelnut products in the country. Grown, harvested, roasted, and packaged right on the Denfeld family farm in Laurel, Oregon, every product is rooted in six generations of local farming tradition. Laurel Foods is the result of a partnership between two multigenerational Oregon families—the Denfelds and the Warings—who are committed to quality, transparency, and integrity. From orchard to shelf, they oversee every step to ensure freshness, flavor, and food safety in every bite. Their offerings range from naturally roasted Oregon hazelnuts to inventive flavors like rosemary garlic or sea salt & vinegar, along with pure hazelnut butter and golden hazelnut oil—all made without additives or fillers. Every product is crafted to showcase the rich, buttery taste and nutritional benefits of Oregon’s signature nut. “We believe in doing things the right way—from the ground up. That means keeping our roots local, our quality high, and our relationships strong.” – The Laurel Foods Team Did you know? Oregon produces 99% of all hazelnuts grown in the United States—and the Willamette Valley is considered one of the world’s premier hazelnut-growing regions thanks to its volcanic soils and temperate climate.
