Crema Baratti 51% Nocciole is a premium Italian hazelnut spread produced by Baratti & Milano, made with an exceptionally high percentage of hazelnuts, containing 51% Piedmont hazelnuts from the renowned Tonda Gentile delle Langhe variety. The spread is characterized by its intense roasted hazelnut flavor and smooth, velvety texture, offering a more authentic and less sugary profile than many conventional chocolate spreads.
The recipe uses cocoa butter instead of vegetable oils, giving the cream a cleaner and more refined mouthfeel. Alongside hazelnuts, the formulation includes cocoa, skimmed milk powder, and natural vanilla flavoring, while the hazelnut remains the dominant aromatic element.
The high nut content creates a rich gianduja-style character deeply connected to Turin’s chocolate-making tradition. Baratti & Milano also emphasizes the absence of added foreign fats, relying mainly on the natural oils of hazelnuts and cocoa.
The spread is gluten-free and designed for consumers seeking a more artisanal interpretation of classic Italian hazelnut cream. It pairs well with bread, croissants, pancakes, pastries, and desserts, but can also be enjoyed on its own due to its concentrated flavor.
Crema Baratti 51% Nocciole reflects the company’s long-standing expertise in Piedmontese chocolate craftsmanship and its focus on high-quality regional ingredients.
