Frequently Asked Questions About Natural hazelnut spread
What is natural hazelnut spread made from?
Natural hazelnut spread is made by grinding hazelnuts into a spreadable paste, usually without added sugar or additives. It is minimally processed, and a jar may contain only hazelnuts, unlike many sweetened chocolate-hazelnut spreads.
Why does oil separate in natural hazelnut spread?
Oil separation is normal in natural hazelnut spread: the hazelnuts’ own oil can rise to the surface during storage. Stir the spread thoroughly before serving to bring the oil back into the paste; separation alone does not mean it has spoiled.
How is natural hazelnut spread different from chocolate hazelnut spread?
Natural hazelnut spread is primarily ground hazelnuts, while chocolate hazelnut spreads commonly include added sugar, cocoa, and other ingredients. The natural version tastes more like hazelnuts and is less sweet, so it may not work as a one-for-one swap in every recipe.
How do you make natural hazelnut spread at home?
To make natural hazelnut spread, blend roasted hazelnuts in a powerful food processor until they release their oils and turn into a paste. Pause to scrape down the sides as needed; extra oil is usually unnecessary.
What can you eat natural hazelnut spread with?
Natural hazelnut spread works on toast, stirred into oatmeal or yogurt, or paired with sliced fruit. Since it is not sweetened like chocolate-hazelnut spread, fruit can add sweetness without changing the spread itself.
Should natural hazelnut spread be refrigerated after opening?
Usually, natural hazelnut spread can be stored tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration can make it firm and harder to spread; follow the storage directions on the jar if they differ.
Does natural hazelnut spread have added sugar?
No, natural hazelnut spread has no added sugar, though hazelnuts themselves contain naturally occurring sugars. Its flavor is much less sweet than that of chocolate-hazelnut spreads; combine it with fruit if you prefer a sweeter snack.
Can you bake with natural hazelnut spread?
Yes, natural hazelnut spread can be used in cakes, cookies, and sauces to add hazelnut flavor. It contributes fat and changes a recipe’s texture, so account for it when adjusting other oily or creamy ingredients.
Does natural hazelnut spread cause weight gain?
Natural hazelnut spread does not cause weight gain by itself, but its energy-dense nature means large portions can add substantially to your overall intake. Pairing a modest amount with toast, fruit, or oatmeal can make portions easier to manage.
Can someone with a hazelnut allergy eat natural hazelnut spread?
No. Natural hazelnut spread is made from hazelnuts and is not safe for someone with a hazelnut allergy; even a small amount can trigger a reaction. People with serious allergies should also watch for cross-contact warnings.

What is Natural hazelnut spread?
Natural hazelnut spread is made by finely grinding hazelnuts, with no added sugar or other additives. The nuts’ own oils give it a thick, creamy texture and a rich, gently roasted flavour; unlike sweet chocolate spreads, it tastes distinctly nutty rather than sugary.
Spread it on toast, spoon it over porridge or yoghurt, or pair it with sliced fruit. It works well at breakfast and as a simple snack, and can also enrich baking or sauces. Naturally high in fat and fibre, it is energy-dense, so a modest spoonful often goes a long way. The hazelnut oil may separate and rise to the surface during storage; stir the spread before serving.
