About Hazelnut Paste

Hazelnut paste is a spreadable or scoopable preparation made by grinding hazelnuts until their natural fat produces a cohesive paste. It is used in confectionery, pralines, fillings, creams, sauces, desserts, baking, and spreads. It may be made from raw or roasted nuts, with roasting giving a deeper flavour.

It ranges from coarse and slightly gritty to exceptionally smooth. The colour is usually beige to brown, and the flavour is nutty, becoming fuller and more toasted when roasted hazelnuts are used. Oil released from the nuts gives the paste a rich, dense, soft texture.

Hazelnut paste may be sold plain or with added oil, sugar, salt, or other ingredients. It can be packed in jars or tubs and may need stirring when oil rises during storage. Plain paste is distinct from sweetened chocolate-hazelnut spread and from a fully formulated praline.

Portions & preparation

Use the paste in the exact recipe form, distinguishing pure ground hazelnuts from sweetened, roasted, praline-style, or blended pastes. Record added oil, sugar, cocoa, milk ingredients, salt, and other nuts, because these additions change how the paste should be compared and portioned.

Compare the right form: Reference should match smooth hazelnut paste and its recipe or brand, including roasting, added oil, sugar, cocoa, dairy, salt, and other nuts.

Diet considerations

Usually plant-derived from ground hazelnuts, but commercial and confectionery pastes may include dairy, sugar, chocolate, or cereal ingredients. These additions change compatibility and carbohydrate patterns. Pure nut paste should be distinguished from praline or sweet filling, and the portion used as a spread, baking ingredient, or sauce should be recorded.
