As in any story that has a hero, in Casca Rija there is a butter that we are very proud of: our hazelnut butter with cocoa, to which we give the name Cocoa Hazelnut!

An irresistibly sweet and tasty butter, it is the result of 12 attempts to find the right amounts of hazelnut butter, honey, excellent quality cocoa powder and Himalayan pink salt. This is another example of our motto: Less is More. Less ingredients and More flavor.

The ingredients were designed to create a healthier version of a cream that no one, anywhere in the world, cares about. To replace refined sugar, we opted for honey, a natural liquid sweetener known for its various health benefits, such as nutrients (vitamins, minerals and antioxidants) and its lower glycemic index. And we replaced milk chocolate with high-quality cocoa powder, whose health benefits have already been proven.

In terms of the production process, we maintained tradition, following simple but demanding steps: roasting, selection and crushing.

As with other butters, we start with roasting, an important step carried out without additives, where the hazelnuts are toasted naturally until they reach the right point. After cooling, a special machine removes the skins from the hazelnuts.

A meticulous selection of hazelnuts follows, with three distinct choices. The perfect hazelnuts are destined for our bags of nuts, those of good quality, but discarded in the previous selection because they have merely visual defects or because they still contain part of the skin, are sent to hazelnut butter and those that do not meet the ideal standards are discarded to guarantee the final flavor.

The third step involves transforming the roasted hazelnuts into a velvety, creamy spread, a challenging process due to the hazelnuts' high natural oil content.

Unlike all other butters, Cocoa Hazelnut from the Casca Rija It is not flavored with spices. We wanted to keep it simple but tasty, so the last step in production is the addition of cocoa powder and a touch of pink salt. Finally, honey is added.

Carefully balanced in terms of ingredients, cocoa offers an indulgent experience, while honey provides natural sweetness and pink salt intensifies the cocoa flavor.

Hazelnut butter with cocoa from Casca Rija, The Cocoa Hazelnut, is a creamy and deliciously healthy option that will certainly exceed the expectations of all those looking for a different hazelnut and cocoa cream!

note: Over time, it is normal for oil to appear on the surface of our 100% natural butters because we do not use artificial emulsifiers. This process is called phase separation, that is, the separation between the dry fruit (solid content and heaviest) and the oil of the respective dried fruit (liquid and lighter). To achieve a better emulsion of the contents of the packaging before any use, we recommend stirring the contents well. Furthermore, you can turn the jar from top to bottom and vice versa frequently, as this way the contents inside will be better emulsified and will not form solid butter at the bottom of the jar as easily.
