About Hazelnut Paste

Hazelnut paste is made by roasting and finely grinding kernels until the natural oils release and the mass becomes a smooth, pourable paste. Pure hazelnut paste is 100% hazelnut with nothing added, while praline paste is a blend of hazelnut and caramelised sugar. Both are core ingredients for filled chocolates, gianduja, spreads, gelato, ice cream ripples and bakery fillings.

Turkish manufacturers produce paste from natural, blanched or roasted kernels, controlling roast level and particle fineness to hit a target flavour and smoothness. Blanched-based paste gives a lighter colour and cleaner taste for premium confectionery, while natural-based paste is deeper and more rustic.

FromTurk connects buyers with verified hazelnut paste manufacturers in the Black Sea region, many offering private-label filling and bulk pails or drums. Each batch ships with aflatoxin analysis and specifications, plus EU duty documentation, so chocolate, gelato and spread producers receive a consistent, ready-to-use ingredient.
