Chocolate Hazelnut Cream - Marco Colzani, Lombardia, Italy

Just received a jar of the Cacao Nocciole by Marco Colzani from seller Gustiamo. I was looking for a chocolate hazelnut sauce that did not have garbage ingredients, like Nutella. This contains only hazelnuts (50%), cane sugar, and cacao. Because of the high nut content, the hazelnut flavor is very prominent so it's like a chocolatey, sweet quality nut butter, which is what I was looking for. It is super delightful. It has a runny consistency on opening it (unlike Amedei's Crema Toscana alla Nocciola, another brand I tried, which was not as good a flavor or consistency in my opinion; Amedei's has additional ingredients of milk powder and vanilla) so you can drizzle it on whatever you may desire. It is slightly pricey, but I justify it by the fact that so are other natural nut butters. I immediately wanted to order more jars, on tasting, to give to friends and family who would also enjoy it, but unfortunately, there was a weird limit (not sure if it is imposed by Amazon or the seller, in reality) of only one container per order through Amazon so I just went straight to Gustiamo's website and was able to get the additional amounts that I wanted. (I was subsequently notified by Gustiamo that the imposed limitation on Amazon was only a temporary thing because they could not keep product on the shelves since so many people were ordering it; they have been super accommodating in all ordering respects.) All in all, if you're considering this product and have not tried it before, I would definitely give it a try because I think you will likely find it to be delicious. Because I was a fan of the hazelnut chocolate spread, I decided to try the pistachio spread by Marco Colazani also (https://www.amazon.com/Pistachio-Spread-Marco-Colzani-Lombardia/dp/B076H9GD3Y/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=pistachio+spread&qid=1561187102&s=gateway&sr=8-11), and it did not disappoint either, although it is on the sweeter side of things. I may even like it more than the chocolate hazelnut spread, but I hate to choose!

I purchased 4 different pistachio creams to use for making pistachio butter cream, Dubai chocolates, and stuffed dates. I tasted them side by side. This one was hands down the best of the bunch. I don't think I can ever go back to the others. I hate the price, but I don't think you will find a better pistachio cream out there. Just amazing tasting, creamy, not overly sweet, pistachio flavor that is authentic and shines through, and it worked well in every application. I would buy this every time.

Awesome taste - true hazelnut, lowest sugar I've found. No bad oils. Great stuff and great seller!

Simple ingredients! High quality products that are simply delicious

Chocolate cream was delicious. It really lists just 3 ingredients on the can, no emulsifiers or questionable chemicals. Spread is pricey but very special. I am happy with it.

Have been looking for a healthier version of Nutella and am glad to find something for my adult’s taste. Love how few ingredients (no palm oil, no sugar substitutes) there are in this spread while delivering the chocolatey, nutty flavor I’ve been dreaming of. Already reordered!

Amazing. As a vegan, it's hard to find delicious vegan pistachio cream, and this one is exceptional!!!! Saw it on Billie Eilish's TikTok first. Been buying it ever since!!!!!

Absolutely delicious!!! I actually bought a couple of other hazelnut chocolate spreads so I could compare them and see if this one was worth the extra cost - it definitely is. I had my husband taste them too and he agreed definitively.Just the right balance of hazelnut and chocolate. Yum! And it's so smooth and creamy. You can tell it's a quality product. Good job.
