Finer Eaters Hazelnut-Cocoa Spread is a classic hazelnut and cocoa duo in a calmer, more conscious version: with no added sugar, no palm oil, and no flashy promise trying to replace the ingredients. It’s a spread for smearing, filling, and eating straight from the jar, but with a recipe built differently from most traditional chocolate-hazelnut spreads. Instead of sugar, maltitol is used, and instead of palm oil – shea and rapeseed vegetable oils.
This product is for those who enjoy the taste of hazelnut-cocoa spread but pay attention to what lies behind that pleasure. The ingredients include 15% hazelnut paste and 6.5% reduced-fat cocoa powder, two ingredients responsible for the spread’s most important character: nutty smoothness and cocoa depth. The effect is familiar, dessert-like, and very versatile – for bread, pancakes, oatmeal, waffles, toast, baked goods, and a spoon when there's no point pretending it's for anything else.
Hazelnuts and cocoa in a creamy, dessert-like formula
Finer Eaters Hazelnut-Cocoa Spread is based on a combination of hazelnut paste and cocoa. Hazelnuts bring a soft, slightly roasted profile that immediately evokes classic chocolate-hazelnut spreads, while cocoa adds a darker, more dessert-like background. It’s a simple taste in the best sense: understandable, loved, everyday, but refined so it isn’t just a sweet mass without character.
The addition of skimmed milk powder and whey powder gives the spread a milder, milky profile. This makes the spread not bitter or raw cocoa, but creamier, softer, and more dessert-like. Natural flavor completes the whole, but doesn’t have to cover the recipe, because its foundation is clear: hazelnut, cocoa, milky smoothness, and sweetness with no added sugar.
No added sugar and no palm oil
The most important difference between Finer Eaters Hazelnut-Cocoa Spread and classic spreads of this type is that the recipe has been prepared without added sugar and without palm oil. Sweetness comes from maltitol, and the creamy base from shea and rapeseed vegetable oils. This allows to maintain the dessert character of the product, but in a version more suited for people who limit sugar and consciously choose the ingredients of their sweet additions.
100g of the spread contains 501 kcal, 37g fat, 51g carbohydrates, including 6.4g sugars and 42g polyols. It is still a dessert spread – rich, sweet, filling, and fatty – but without added sugar and palm oil. It is best treated as an intense flavor additive: a small portion can completely transform oatmeal, pancakes, a sandwich, or yogurt into a dessert meal.
For spreading, filling, and desserts
Finer Eaters Hazelnut-Cocoa Spread is very versatile. The simplest way to use it is to spread it on bread, toast, rice cakes, pancakes, waffles, or crispbread. It also works well as an addition to oatmeal, millet porridge, semolina, rice pudding, yogurt, skyr, cottage cheese, or a smoothie bowl. Just a teaspoon is enough for a simple meal to get the taste of a chocolate-hazelnut dessert.
In the kitchen, it can also be used as a filling for pancakes, croissants, cookies, tartlets, muffins, or homemade bars. It pairs well with banana, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, nuts, dark chocolate, and ice cream. It is a spread that works well both in its simplest use and in more elaborate desserts – especially where the classic taste of hazelnut and cocoa without added sugar is needed.
The luxury of simplicity in an everyday version
Finer Eaters embodies that pleasant restraint of products that don't need to pretend to be more than they are. The label speaks calmly, the ingredients speak specifically, and the spread does exactly what is expected of a good hazelnut-cocoa spread: it's smooth, sweet, cocoa-y, nutty, and ready to use when a simple sandwich, oatmeal, or pancake needs something more dessert-like.
In the case of natural spreads, product separation is possible – this is a normal phenomenon, and it is sufficient to stir the spread before use. It is best stored at room temperature, between 18–22°C, to maintain the proper consistency for spreading.
