Frequently Asked Questions About Hazelnut Butter (Pure)
What is pure hazelnut butter made of?
Pure hazelnut butter is made from ground hazelnuts, with no added sugar, cocoa, or other ingredients. The nuts release their natural oil as they are blended, creating a smooth, spreadable paste.
How do you make hazelnut butter at home?
Roast hazelnuts lightly, let them cool, then blend them in a powerful food processor. They first become a coarse meal; keep blending, scraping down the sides, until their oils turn the mixture into a smooth butter.
Why does pure hazelnut butter separate?
Oil separation is normal in pure hazelnut butter because it contains no stabilizers to keep the natural hazelnut oil evenly mixed. Stir the contents thoroughly with a clean, dry spoon before serving.
Does hazelnut butter need to be refrigerated after opening?
Usually not if you keep it tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard and use a clean, dry spoon. Refrigeration can help preserve freshness for longer, but it also makes the butter firmer and harder to spread.
How is hazelnut butter different from Nutella?
Pure hazelnut butter is ground hazelnuts, while Nutella is a sweetened chocolate-hazelnut spread made with additional ingredients. Hazelnut butter has a more concentrated nut flavor and is not as sweet.
Can you use hazelnut butter instead of peanut butter?
Yes, hazelnut butter can replace peanut butter in many recipes, including cookies, sauces, and smoothies. Its distinct hazelnut flavor will change the result, so it works best where that taste complements the other ingredients.
What can you eat with hazelnut butter?
Spread hazelnut butter on toast, stir it into oatmeal, or pair it with apple or banana slices. It also works well in smoothies and with chocolate, which complements its naturally rich, roasted-nut flavor.
Can pure hazelnut butter be used in savory recipes?
Yes, it can add creaminess and a nutty flavor to savory sauces and dressings. Thin it with a little warm water, then season with ingredients such as lemon, garlic, or soy sauce.
How can you tell if hazelnut butter has gone bad?
Discard hazelnut butter if it smells rancid, tastes unpleasantly bitter or stale, or shows visible mold. Natural oil separation alone is not a sign of spoilage; stir it and assess its smell and appearance.
Does hazelnut butter make you gain weight?
Hazelnut butter does not cause weight gain by itself, but frequent large servings can add substantially to your overall energy intake. Measuring a serving rather than eating straight from the jar can help keep portions in check.

What is Hazelnut Butter (Pure)?
Hazelnut Butter (Pure) is made by grinding hazelnuts until their natural oils turn them into a smooth or slightly coarse paste. Unlike sweetened chocolate-hazelnut spreads, it has a concentrated roasted-nut flavour, with a rich, creamy texture and no need for added sugar. Spread it on toast, stir it into porridge or yogurt, or use a spoonful in baking and sauces.
It is energy-dense and provides mostly unsaturated fat, along with fibre, protein and vitamin E. A little goes a long way: pair it with fruit or whole-grain bread for a simple snack, or thin it with water to make a drizzle for oats and desserts.
