About Hazelnut Butter

Hazelnut butter is a spreadable preparation made by grinding hazelnuts until their released oil produces a thick paste. It is used on bread or biscuits, stirred into porridge and desserts, blended into sauces, and used in baking and confectionery.

It can be smooth or crunchy, pale tan to brown, and may retain some of the nut’s skin or include roasted kernels. Roasting generally gives it a deeper colour and stronger nutty flavour, while unroasted versions are milder and lighter. Plain versions taste distinctly nutty and buttery.

Products may contain only ground hazelnuts or may include added oil, sugar, salt, cocoa, or other ingredients. Oil can separate during storage in minimally processed versions and may be stirred back in. The paste may be coarse, creamy, or very smooth according to grinding.

Manufacturer label accessed 20 September 2026. Per 100 g; normalized from a rounded 100 g label serving. This named product is an example, not a universal average for all brands or recipes. Label zeros can reflect rounding. Check your own package. 100% roasted organic hazelnuts; no added sugar, salt or oil.

Portions & preparation

Use the spreadable edible butter as sold, noting whether it is smooth or crunchy and whether the recipe contains added oil, sugar, salt, cocoa, or other nuts. Reference the actual product rather than treating every hazelnut butter as ground hazelnuts alone.

Compare the right form: Reference should match smooth or crunchy hazelnut butter, including its brand or recipe, added oil, sweeteners, salt, cocoa, and other nuts.

Diet considerations

Plant-derived when made from hazelnuts and plant ingredients, but commercial recipes can include dairy, chocolate components, or cereal-derived additions. Added sugar changes the carbohydrate pattern, and mixed-nut or flavored products differ from plain butter. Compatibility therefore depends on the full ingredient list and the portion spread.
