Frequently Asked Questions About Hazelnut Extract
What is hazelnut extract?
Hazelnut extract is a concentrated flavoring used to give foods and drinks a distinct hazelnut taste. Products sold as extracts may differ in how they are made and whether they use real hazelnuts or added flavorings.
How do you use hazelnut extract in baking?
Add hazelnut extract to cake batter, cookies, frosting, or custards to bring out a nutty flavor. Mix it in gradually, since a little can noticeably change the taste and too much may overwhelm other ingredients.
Can you put hazelnut extract in coffee?
Yes, hazelnut extract can flavor coffee, lattes, and hot chocolate. Stir a small amount into the drink first and taste it before adding more; its concentrated flavor can quickly overpower the coffee.
What can I use instead of hazelnut extract?
Ground hazelnuts or hazelnut butter can replace hazelnut extract when you want a real nut flavor, though they also change a recipe’s texture. Another nut extract may work, but it will give a different flavor.
Is hazelnut extract the same as hazelnut syrup?
No. Hazelnut extract is mainly used to add concentrated flavor, while hazelnut syrup is a sweetened liquid commonly added to drinks. Syrup will make a recipe sweeter and may change its consistency.
Can you make hazelnut extract at home?
Yes. You can steep chopped hazelnuts in a neutral spirit to draw out their flavor, then strain the liquid. Homemade extract takes time to infuse, and its strength may differ from commercial products.
Does hazelnut extract contain alcohol?
Some hazelnut extracts use alcohol as a solvent, while others are made without it. The amount and type vary by product, so check the ingredient list if you need to avoid alcohol.
How should hazelnut extract be stored?
Keep hazelnut extract tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from heat and sunlight. Refrigeration is generally unnecessary unless the product’s instructions say otherwise; close the cap promptly after each use.
How long does hazelnut extract last after opening?
Hazelnut extract can gradually lose flavor after opening, and its shelf life varies by formulation. Follow the date and storage directions on the bottle, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes noticeably.
Can people with hazelnut allergies use hazelnut extract?
People with hazelnut allergies should avoid hazelnut extract unless a qualified clinician has confirmed that a specific product is safe for them. Products can contain hazelnut-derived ingredients, and cross-contact may also be a concern.

What is Hazelnut Extract?
Hazelnut Extract is a concentrated flavouring used to bring hazelnut’s rich aroma to recipes in small amounts; it is not eaten like whole nuts or hazelnut butter. Add a few drops or a small spoonful to cakes, biscuits, custards and drinks. In Turkey, where hazelnuts are closely associated with the Black Sea region, it is a natural fit with chocolate and cocoa in home baking. It can also flavour coffee, hot milk or desserts served with tea.
Its taste is distinctly nutty, often reminiscent of roasted hazelnuts, while the liquid itself adds little texture. Its nutritional contribution is small compared with its role as a flavouring: the supplied figures list 10 calories per 100 g. Use it sparingly, tasting as you go, and adjust the recipe’s sugar separately if needed.
