Frequently Asked Questions About Hazelnut Spread (Unsweetened)
How do you use unsweetened hazelnut spread?
Use unsweetened hazelnut spread on toast, stirred into oatmeal or yogurt, or paired with fruit. Its rich, nutty flavor also works in smoothies and homemade sauces when you want hazelnut taste without added sugar.
Is unsweetened hazelnut spread the same as Nutella?
No. Unsweetened hazelnut spread has no added sugar and is usually made mainly from hazelnuts, while Nutella is a sweetened cocoa-hazelnut spread. Ingredients vary by brand, so some unsweetened versions may contain added oil or other ingredients.
Why does oil separate in unsweetened hazelnut spread?
Oil separation is normal in unsweetened hazelnut spread because hazelnuts naturally release oil. Stir it thoroughly before serving to bring the mixture back together. Separation alone does not mean the spread has gone bad.
Can you make unsweetened hazelnut spread at home?
Yes. Blend roasted hazelnuts in a powerful food processor until they turn from crumbs into a smooth paste. Their own oil usually creates a spreadable texture, so added oil is often unnecessary; stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.
Should unsweetened hazelnut spread be refrigerated after opening?
Not necessarily: store unsweetened hazelnut spread according to its package directions, with the lid tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Refrigeration can make it firm. Discard it if it develops a rancid or unusually bitter smell.
Can unsweetened hazelnut spread replace peanut butter?
Often, yes: unsweetened hazelnut spread can replace peanut butter on toast or in many sauces and baking recipes. Its flavor is more distinctly sweet and nutty, and its texture may differ, so the result will not taste exactly the same.
Does unsweetened hazelnut spread contain sugar?
Unsweetened hazelnut spread has no added sugar, but that does not necessarily mean it contains no naturally occurring sugars. Some products also include ingredients besides hazelnuts, so the ingredient list can clarify what is in a particular jar.
Can unsweetened hazelnut spread be used in baking?
Yes, unsweetened hazelnut spread works in cookies, cakes, brownies, and energy bites. It adds hazelnut flavor and fat, but it will not provide the sweetness of a sweetened spread, so recipes may need adjustments to their sugar and texture.
Is unsweetened hazelnut spread good for weight loss?
Unsweetened hazelnut spread is not a weight-loss food by itself. Its fat and fiber can make it satisfying, but it is energy-dense, so large servings can add up quickly. Pairing a modest amount with fruit or yogurt can make a filling snack.
Is unsweetened hazelnut spread suitable for people with diabetes?
Unsweetened hazelnut spread has no added sugar, but that alone does not determine how it fits into a diabetes meal plan. Check the product’s ingredients and consider its carbohydrate content; a clinician or dietitian can advise on an individual portion.

What is Hazelnut Spread (Unsweetened)?
Hazelnut Spread (Unsweetened) is made by grinding hazelnuts into a smooth or slightly coarse paste, with no sugar added. Its rich, roasted-nut flavour is naturally rounded and mildly sweet, even without added sweetener.
It can be spread on toast, stirred into porridge or yoghurt, or paired with sliced fruit. In places where hazelnuts are a familiar crop, it is also used in baking and sauces; elsewhere, it makes an easy addition to breakfast or a snack. The spread is rich in fats and provides fibre and protein, so a little goes a long way. Try it with whole-grain bread or fruit, and keep the serving modest if you want a lighter meal.
