The main difference is the hazelnut proportion and the other ingredients. In 70% hazelnut spread, hazelnuts make up 70% of the product; chocolate hazelnut spreads may have more prominent cocoa and sweeteners. Taste and texture vary by recipe.
Yes, it can replace Nutella in many recipes, but the result may be less sweet and more strongly hazelnut-flavoured. If the recipe relies on the sweetness or texture of chocolate hazelnut spread, adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
The oil is usually natural hazelnut oil separating from the ground nuts. Stir the spread thoroughly with a clean spoon to bring it back together. Oil separation alone does not mean the product has gone bad.
Usually it can be kept tightly closed in a cool, dry place, and refrigeration may make it firm and harder to spread. Follow the storage directions on the jar, since recipes can differ.
Use it in cookie dough, cake fillings, brownies, or homemade snack bites. Its strong hazelnut flavour can change the sweetness and texture of a recipe, so account for the spread’s other ingredients when adjusting sugar or fat.
It may be sweet, mildly sweet, or barely sweet, depending on the ingredients in the remaining 30%. The hazelnut percentage alone does not tell you how much sugar the spread contains; the ingredient list will.
Yes. Blend roasted hazelnuts in a powerful food processor until smooth, then add other ingredients if desired. To match a particular spread, you would need to measure the hazelnuts and additions; homemade versions can differ in texture and taste.
It provides unsaturated fats and fibre from its high hazelnut content, but it is energy-dense. It can fit into a varied diet, while the amount of added sugar depends on the product’s recipe.
It does not cause weight gain on its own, but frequent large servings can add substantial energy to your diet. Try it as a topping or spread rather than eating it straight from the jar.
They may be able to, but the remaining 30% can include sugar or other ingredients that affect the product’s carbohydrate content. Check the ingredient list and ask your clinician or dietitian how it fits your individual blood-glucose plan.

Hazelnut spread (70% hazelnut) is a thick paste made mostly from ground hazelnuts. Depending on the product, the nuts may be roasted, giving the spread a deeper, toasted flavour, and the texture can be smooth or slightly grainy. The remaining ingredients vary, so check the label if you want to know exactly what is added.
It works on toast, stirred into porridge, or paired with sliced fruit; in hazelnut-growing regions it is also used in baking and desserts. With its high nut content, it is energy-dense and rich in fat: it provides 56.8 g fat per 100 g. A thin layer is an easy way to enjoy it without making a snack too heavy.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
