A familiar flavor. Built for what you make.
Hazelnut can play very different roles across food and beverage — from a visible roasted inclusion to a flavor-building ingredient. The right format starts with the application.
START WITH THE APPLICATION
The best ingredient format depends on what you’re making.
A hazelnut ingredient can bring flavor, aroma, texture, visual appeal, or a combination of all four. That’s why we start with the application — not simply with a product format.
Tell us what you’re making, how you want the hazelnut to perform, and what your production requires. We can then discuss the most suitable format and specification.
WHERE IT CAN GO
Four territories. One ingredient.
Bakery
Hazelnut brings a naturally rich, aromatic character to breads, pastries, cookies, cakes, and finished bakery products
Possible uses: Cookies & biscuits · Pastries · Cakes & baked goods · Toppings & inclusions · Chunky fillings & layered products.
Format: Roasted chopped hazelnut — particularly suited to applications where visible pieces, texture, and roasted flavor are part of the product experience.
Dessert
From familiar hazelnut flavor to visible texture, hazelnut can add both sensory character and visual appeal to desserts.
Possible uses: Gelato & ice cream · Chocolate desserts · Praline-style products · Dessert toppings · Layered or textured desserts
Format: Roasted chopped hazelnut — a natural fit when the ingredient needs to remain visible and contribute a recognizable bite.
Beverage
Hazelnut is already familiar in coffee and specialty beverages. The opportunity is to work with that flavor in more deliberate ways.
Possible uses: Coffee & specialty beverages · Milk-based drinks · Smoothies · Beverage toppings/inclusions where applicable
Format: Format depends on the application. For beverage applications, we can discuss the physical characteristics required for your process and product.
Food Manufacturing
For manufacturers, hazelnut is less about a single recipe and more about specification, consistency, documentation, and fit within an existing production process.
Possible uses: Ingredient systems · Snack products · Confectionery · Bakery manufacturing · New product development
Format: Specification-driven — particle size and other physical characteristics can be discussed according to the intended application.
THE FORMAT MATTERS
Same hazelnut. Different ways to work with it.
The format can change how hazelnut behaves in a product — from the way it looks and feels to how it fits into your production process.
1 — Roasted Chopped
Visible pieces. Distinct texture. Roasted hazelnut character. Starting specification: 2–4mm
02 — Other Sizes
Need a different granule size for your application? We can discuss other physical specifications around your process. Specification: Available on request
03 — Other Ingredient Formats
We're also exploring additional hazelnut ingredient formats for businesses looking for different nutritional, functional, or processing characteristics. Format: Talk to us
BUILT AROUND YOUR PROCESS
Tell us what the ingredient needs to do.
Granule size is only one part of the specification. Depending on the application, you may also need to consider texture, roast profile, physical characteristics, packaging, documentation, and other product requirements.
