A hazelnut paste alternative — not the nut, the paste.
Source: Planet A Foods.
Overview
Hazelnut supply is concentrated in a handful of growing regions and weather-exposed, so paste prices swing with every harvest. Our hazelnut paste alternative recreates the roasted taste and smooth body of hazelnut paste — to replace it outright or extend it, protecting both taste and margin.
How it works: it's built for paste applications, not whole-nut use — spreads, fillings, pralines and bakery — and drops into existing paste-handling lines.
Why Hazelnut Alternative & Booster
Insulated from a concentrated, weather-exposed hazelnut crop and the paste-price swings that follow every harvest.
Medium and dark roast profiles built for paste applications — a drop-in for spreads, fillings, pralines and bakery lines.
A less-concentrated supply base than whole hazelnuts, without a health or nutrition claim attached.
Roast profiles
Rounded, sweet, classic praline character for spreads and fillings.
Deeper, more intense roasted notes for a bolder hazelnut signature.
Extend real hazelnut paste — stretch every kilo while holding the taste.
