Nuts remain hot with consumers, so naturally they are responding well to new ways to enjoy them. Thus the promise of hazelnut butters and pastes, which can add richness and flavor to many savory, bakery, snack, frozen dessert and confection items.

Hazelnut butter is unsweetened and similar in consistency to natural peanut butter. It is rich in protein, fiber and monounsaturated “healthy” fats - nutrients that slow digestion and help provide a sense of fullness and satisfaction. Hazelnut butter also contains phytonutrients and vitamin E.

Hazelnut paste is sweetened spreadable paste made of ground hazelnuts and sugar. It adds body, sweetness, flavor, moisture and a creamy mouthfeel to any formulation.

Hazelnut butter can be used in both sweet and savory foods while hazelnut paste is a shining star in bakery, confection and ice cream applications.

Both butter and paste deliver rich intense hazelnut flavor, and give food products a nutritional boost while adding the premium indulgence and satisfaction consumers crave.
