Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

The “Quality Bloom”: As noted on the jar, you may occasionally see small white spots or a slight shimmer on the surface. This is natural cocoa butter bloom. Because Nocciolata uses real cocoa butter instead of palm oil, temperature changes can cause the fats to crystallise. Simply stir the spread or gently warm the jar to return it to its “silky, richly flavoured” state.

Character: Unlike mainstream chocolate spreads, Nocciolata has a higher hazelnut content (16%) and a much lower saturated fat profile due to the use of sunflower oil. It is “naturally nutty” and noticeably less sugary, allowing the quality of the organic cocoa to shine.

Storage: Store at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, as this will harden the cocoa butter and make the spread difficult to serve.

The Gourmet Crêpe: Spread a thin layer over warm crêpes or pancakes and finish with sliced strawberries or toasted hazelnuts. The heat from the crêpe slightly melts the cocoa butter, creating a decadent, glossy glaze.

Elevated Breakfast: Spread onto toasted sourdough or a warm croissant. Because it is palm-oil-free, the texture is smoother and less “cloying” than traditional spreads, making it an elegant start to the day.

Nocciolata Hot Chocolate: Stir a generous tablespoon into a mug of steaming hot milk. The real cocoa mass and hazelnut oils dissolve to create a “richly flavoured” hazelnut hot chocolate that is far superior to powdered mixes.

Fruit Dipping: Use as a dip for apple slices, bananas, or pears. The subtle saltiness in the recipe (0.10g) acts as a flavour enhancer for the natural sugars in the fruit.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. No refrigeration required. Natural separation or cocoa butter crystallisation (white spots) may occur – this is normal and doesn’t affect quality.
