Hazelnut butter is another of the 12 butters that Casca Rija created.
Regardless of the nut that serves as inspiration for a butter, we keep our production process unchanged, following simple but exacting steps: roasting, selection, grinding, and flavouring.
1º - As with other butters, in hazelnut butter, we always begin with roasting, a crucial stage carried out without the use of additives. The hazelnuts are gently roasted naturally until they reach the ideal point.
2º - Once cooled, a machine specially created for the purpose removes the characteristic skins from the hazelnuts. This process was also done manually in an early stage of Casca Rija.
3º - After the skins are removed from the roasted hazelnuts, all the hazelnuts are selected so that only the best ones are used in the packs designated as "Roasted Hazelnut" and in the hazelnut butter.
4º - The fourth production stage consists of transforming the roasted hazelnuts until a creamy, velvety consistency is obtained. This is the most complicated production process of all our nut butters, due to the high oil content that hazelnuts naturally contain.
As with almost all our nut butters, a little exotic spice is added (Ceylon cinnamon powder and dehydrated ginger powder), always ensuring that its flavour does not overpower the unique taste of hazelnut. The smoothness and sweetness of the Ceylon cinnamon powder and the slightly spicy intensity of the dehydrated ginger powder provide an aromatic result, without ever overpowering the hazelnut flavour. The result is an aromatic, silky cream that reveals, in every spoonful, the unique flavour of our hazelnut butter; an unmistakable flavour that will undoubtedly exceed the expectations of all lovers of this nut.
