Frequently Asked Questions About Hazelnut spread (70% hazelnut)
What is the difference between 70% hazelnut spread and chocolate hazelnut spread?
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.
Can 70% hazelnut spread replace Nutella in recipes?
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.
Why does 70% hazelnut spread have oil on top?
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.
Does 70% hazelnut spread need to be refrigerated after opening?
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.
How can you use 70% hazelnut spread in baking?
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.
Is 70% hazelnut spread sweet?
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.
Can you make 70% hazelnut spread at home?
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.
Is 70% hazelnut spread good for you?
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.
Does 70% hazelnut spread cause weight gain?
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.
Can people with diabetes eat 70% hazelnut spread?
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.
