Paste, flour, chopped or whole hazelnuts?
Choosing a hazelnut format for ice cream, pastry, chocolate and snacks.
Your recipe is the starting point: a creamy texture, a crunchy inclusion and a whole hazelnut require different ingredients. This guide compares Premium Hazelnut Paste with the three HAZELFIBER™ Linea Artigianale formats.
Four ingredients, four ways to use hazelnuts.
The range is made from 100% Turkish-origin hazelnuts. Particle size, kernel size and roasting profile should be assessed against your intended result and process conditions.
Premium Hazelnut Paste
Medium-roasted hazelnuts processed into a creamy, homogeneous paste. For ice cream, spreads, gianduja, fillings and pastry. Stir before use.
Particle size: 20–40 µmRoasted Hazelnut Flour
Roasted, ground hazelnuts for doughs, biscuits, wafers, creams and fine inclusions. Consider this format when hazelnuts need to become part of the preparation’s structure.
Particle size: 0–2 mmRoasted Chopped Hazelnuts
For inclusions and decoration in ice cream, pastry and pralines. Choose the piece size according to the desired texture and production process.
Particle sizes: 1–3, 2–4, 3–5, 5–8 and 8–12 mmWhole Roasted Hazelnuts
Levant/Giresun hazelnuts for pralines, chocolate, pastry, decoration and snacks. Choose kernel size according to the recipe, portion and intended processing.
Kernel sizes: 9–11, 11–13 and 13–15 mmAllergen: hazelnuts (tree nuts). Consult the technical sheet and allergen documentation for the product and supply concerned.
Four things to help us choose together.
The ingredient’s name alone is not enough. A precise enquiry helps us suggest a format to test and prepare an offer that matches your requirements.
- Describe the application.
Ice cream, spread, biscuit, praline or snack? State the intended result, texture and any processing constraints.
- Test the sample in your recipe.
Evaluate the format in your own process. Application trials establish suitability: the same raw material can behave differently in different preparations.
- Review the documentation.
Request composition, particle or kernel size, storage and packaging details. State any certification requirements, to be verified for the individual supply.
- Plan quantity and delivery.
Tell us the approximate kilograms, destination and timing. Availability, supply format and conditions are confirmed in the quotation.
