What it is

Hazelnut paste is a smooth spread made from ground roasted hazelnuts. Hazelnuts are tree nuts that grow on Corylus trees, native to the Northern Hemisphere. The roasting process enhances their flavor and aroma before they are ground into a paste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use hazelnut paste primarily as a flavoring ingredient, adding a rich, nutty taste to foods. It is a key component in many chocolate confections, baked goods, and spreads, contributing both flavor and texture.

Health notes

Hazelnut paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated hazelnuts and their derivatives, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with moderate consumption of hazelnut paste in foods.

Allergen info

Hazelnuts are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with tree nut allergies should avoid products containing hazelnut paste.
