What it is

Hazelnut butter is a spread made from ground roasted hazelnuts. It has a rich, nutty flavor and a creamy texture. Hazelnuts are tree nuts grown on Corylus trees.

Why it's used

Hazelnut butter is used to add a distinct nutty flavor and creamy texture to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, spreads, and dairy products like ice cream. Manufacturers use it as a flavor enhancer and a fat source.

Health notes

Hazelnut butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of healthy fats, fiber, and micronutrients. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated hazelnuts and hazelnut products, and they are considered safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Hazelnuts are tree nuts, which are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Hazelnut butter is therefore considered a major allergen.
