Hazelnut and Cocoa Spreads: How to Choose and Use Them in Summer

Why choose artisanal hazelnut and cocoa spread?

Hazelnut and cocoa spread holds a special place in sweet Italian groceries. To make a difference, opt for a spread rich in IGP Piedmont hazelnuts, without palm oil, and with a real cocoa taste. Artisanal spreads often contain at least 40% hazelnuts, which gives them a melt-in-your-mouth texture and an intense flavor.

To check the quality, look at the ingredients list: a good spread should not contain artificial flavors or questionable fats. Discover our Piedmont hazelnut spread to make a difference with every toast.

No-bake breakfasts and snacks

In summer, hazelnut and cocoa spread enhances morning toasts, crepes, or pancakes. You can also spread it on grilled bread, waffles, or mix it with plain yogurt for a quick and refreshing snack. For a sweet platter to share, add some fresh fruit and a spoon of Piedmont hazelnut cocoa spread.

Fresh desserts and summer recipes

Hazelnut and cocoa spread pairs perfectly with ice cream, seasonal fruits (peaches, apricots, figs), and no-bake desserts. Try it in a verrine with crumbled biscuits, a layer of spread, and fresh fruit. You can also make a quick sauce by slightly diluting it with a little hot milk.

Tips for storing and serving spread in summer

Storage tips

1. Keep your spread away from heat and light.
2. If needed, place it in the refrigerator to prevent it from becoming too liquid, but take it out 15 minutes before serving.
3. Stir it if a thin layer of oil rises to the top; this is normal in recipes without stabilizers.

Service and presentation

For a summer brunch or snack, offer several varieties on the table: hazelnut, pistachio, cocoa. Provide small bowls, cut fruit, dipping biscuits, and fresh bread. Highlight customization with a build-your-own gift box to surprise your guests.
