A layer of oil at the top of your hazelnut jar is proof that you have purchased the real deal and that no additives have been added. When hazelnuts are ground, they release a natural oil that, when left to sit, floats to the top of the jar. Just stir it back in to produce a creamy spread when you want it.
Lightly roasted hazelnut butter has a more subtle flavour and a naturally sweeter taste than dark roasted hazelnut butter which is roasted for slightly longer to produce a more intense flavour. Try our dark roasted butter with a slice of apple or pear on a cheese cracker for a taste sensation.
Our range of hazelnut butter does not require added flavour. They are delicious all by themselves so there is no added salt or sugar.
We grow our hazelnuts where we live, on the fertile soils of the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand. They are processed on-site, paddock to plate, ensuring a high-quality product delivered to your door, every time. Hazelnuts are harvested every year but as crop size can vary from year to year, we may supplement our supplies with hazelnuts from other like-minded growers in the local area.
Our hazelnuts can be eaten raw, roasted, or coated in chocolate to create a decadent sweet treat. Hazelnuts contain vitamin B6, vitamin E, folate, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, thiamine, and magnesium. So not only do they taste great, they are also a healthy addition to your diet. View our recipes.
Hazelnuts are little powerhouses of vitamins and rich in unsaturated fats, fibre and protein. This makes them a nutritionally rich food and effective at increasing satiety. A 2013 systematic review in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating nuts did not increase body weight or fat when included in a diet. In addition, there’s mounting evidence to suggest that eating nuts and seeds daily can lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease and may even lengthen your life. They are the perfect snack and healthy addition to your diet.
Yes, the only ingredients in our nut butters are hazelnuts and the joy that goes into everything we do. The chocolate covered hazelnuts are not suitable for vegan and plant-based diets at this point in time and do include dairy in the coating.
Our high-quality hazelnuts and nut-butters can be purchased from our online store and select retail outlets. View our stockists here.
