About

A paste obtained by pressing hazelnuts. It has a nutty brown color, a full, nutty flavor, and is used principally in baked goods. Hazelnut paste is fragrant and has the finished flavor of the roasted nut. It can be purchased from food suppliers commercially, or you can make your own. The purchased paste is more concentrated and a smaller quantity is required.

Hazelnut paste is not the same product as the hazelnut-flavored spreads you find at the supermarket next to peanut butter, intended as a topping for toast. Hazelnut paste contains more essence than these spreads. They should not be used as a substitute.
