Hazelnut butter is another of the 11 butters created by Casca Rija. Regardless of which nut serves as inspiration for a butter, we keep our production process unchanged, following simple yet demanding steps: roasting, selection, grinding, and flavoring. 1st - As with other butters, for hazelnut butter, we always start with roasting, a crucial step carried out without the use of additives. The hazelnuts are delicately roasted naturally until they reach the ideal point. 2nd - After cooling, a machine specially designed for this purpose removes the characteristic skins from the hazelnuts. This process was also done manually in the early days of Casca Rija. 3rd - Once the skins are removed from the roasted hazelnuts, all the hazelnuts are selected so that only the best are used in the packages labeled "Roasted Hazelnut" and in the hazelnut butter. 4th - The fourth stage of production consists of transforming the roasted hazelnuts until a creamy and velvety consistency is achieved. 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 bit of exotic spices (Ceylon cinnamon powder and dehydrated ginger powder) is added, always ensuring that their flavor does not overpower the unique taste of the hazelnut. The smoothness and sweetness of Ceylon cinnamon powder and the slightly spicy intensity of dehydrated ginger powder provide an aromatic result, never overshadowing the flavor of the hazelnut. The result is an aromatic and silky cream that reveals, in every spoonful, the unique taste of our hazelnut butter; an unmistakable flavor that will undoubtedly exceed the expectations of all lovers of this nut.
