Production & Sourcing
The process typically involves roasting the hazelnuts to enhance their flavor and loosen their natural oils. The roasted nuts are then placed in a grinder or food processor, where they are finely ground. This grinding process releases the oils in the nuts, creating a creamy texture. Some manufacturers may add a small amount of oil, such as hazelnut or vegetable oil, to achieve a smoother consistency.
