Frequently Asked Questions About Chocolate hazelnut spread
What is chocolate hazelnut spread made of?
Chocolate hazelnut spread commonly contains sugar, vegetable oil, hazelnuts and cocoa; some versions also include milk ingredients. It is a processed spread, and the exact ingredients and proportions vary by brand, so recipes are not interchangeable.
Is chocolate hazelnut spread healthy?
Chocolate hazelnut spread is a sweet spread, not a substitute for whole hazelnuts: it commonly contains substantial sugar and oil. It can fit as an occasional topping, but relying on it as a main everyday source of nutrition is less useful.
Does chocolate hazelnut spread need to be refrigerated after opening?
Usually, chocolate hazelnut spread is kept in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry cupboard rather than the refrigerator. Chilling can make it firm, so follow the storage directions on the particular jar and use a clean utensil.
Why does chocolate hazelnut spread get oily on top?
Oil on top of chocolate hazelnut spread can form when some of its fat separates during storage. Follow the jar’s storage instructions, and don’t eat it if its smell or appearance has noticeably changed.
Can you bake with chocolate hazelnut spread?
Yes, chocolate hazelnut spread works in brownies, cookies, cakes and pastry fillings. Because it adds both sweetness and fat, you may need to adjust the recipe’s sugar or butter; a small test batch helps avoid an overly sweet or greasy result.
How do you make chocolate hazelnut spread at home?
You can make chocolate hazelnut spread by blending roasted hazelnuts until smooth, then adding cocoa and a sweetener. Add a little oil only if needed for texture, and refrigerate homemade spread in a clean, sealed container.
Is chocolate hazelnut spread the same as Nutella?
No. Nutella is a brand of chocolate hazelnut spread, while the general name also covers products made by other brands and homemade versions. Their hazelnut content, sweetness, ingredients and texture can differ.
Can dogs eat chocolate hazelnut spread?
No, chocolate hazelnut spread should not be given to dogs. Cocoa can contain theobromine, which is toxic to dogs, and the product’s high fat and sugar content are also unsuitable; contact a veterinarian if your dog has eaten some.
How long does chocolate hazelnut spread last after opening?
Chocolate hazelnut spread can keep for a while after opening when stored as directed, but the safe period varies by product. Use the jar’s date and storage guidance, close the lid after each use, and discard it if it develops an unusual smell or appearance.
How do you soften chocolate hazelnut spread for a recipe?
To soften chocolate hazelnut spread, warm a small portion gently in a microwave-safe bowl or over warm water, stirring often. Avoid overheating it, since excess heat can make the spread too runny or scorch it.

What is Chocolate hazelnut spread?
Chocolate hazelnut spread combines hazelnuts and cocoa with sugar and fats to make a smooth, sweet spread. It draws on the Italian gianduja tradition, associated with Piedmont, though recipes and proportions vary between products.
Its creamy texture and roasted-nut, chocolatey flavour make it a familiar topping for toast, bread, pancakes and crêpes. It is often eaten at breakfast or as a sweet snack, and pairs well with sliced fruit. The spread is energy-dense, with much of its energy coming from fat and carbohydrate, while it provides relatively little protein. A modest spoonful can add plenty of flavour; pairing it with fruit or plain yoghurt makes for a less sweet-feeling snack.
