Everyone knows what you're talking about when you say Nutella, it's the best way to say hazelnut spread. Nobody asks for hazelnut spread on bread, they just say Nutella spread on bread. And it's been a while since Nocciolata came onto the market, a hazelnut cream that competes with Nutella. But, the truth is that it has not yet been identified with something special, there is definitely a lot of work to be done to inform the similarities and differences it has with Nutella.
To keep it simple, we could start by saying that both are hazelnut cream with cocoa powder and sugar. And the main difference is that Nocciolata classifies as an organic hazelnut spread, while Nutella does not.
Knowing this, let's delve a little deeper into it.
Comparing the ingredients of Nocciolata and Nutella
Nutella is made with palm oil, while Nocciolata does not have palm oil. Palm oil has health benefits in its fresh state, but processed palm oil is associated with adverse effects on the kidneys, lungs and reproductive organs. Instead
, Nocciolata has sunflower oil and has no chemicals such as additives, colorants or artificial flavors.
Another advantage of Nocciolata is its nutritional contribution compared to Nutella. It has a little less calories, its saturated fat content is reduced by half, it has less sodium, less sugar, more calcium and more iron.
Nocciolata is gluten-free , so it is a more inclusive hazelnut cream, since it can be consumed by both people with gluten intolerance in general and those with celiac disease in particular.
If you don't consume milk, you will love Nocciolata even more, this hazelnut cream has versions with milk and without milk, you can find presentations of 260 gr and 700 gr. An advantage that gives you the power to decide what to eat and when to do it.
AND. . . regarding taste
For Nutella lovers, flavor is, without a doubt, the great concern when switching from Nutella to any organic hazelnut spread. Well let me tell you that nothing has changed on the palate. Nocciolata is even softer, because it does not have palm oil. It literally melts in your mouth because it is creamier. This makes up for the sugar lightness it lacks compared to Nutella. Nothing your body will miss.
You can use Nocciolata as you normally would with any hazelnut cream, spread it on bread, crêpes, make desserts and even eat it straight from the jar.
So today's big winner is undoubtedly Nocciolata, an organic hazelnut spread that brings flavor to your table and is also healthier than Nutella.
