Roasted Italian Hazelnut - Pure Paste 1kg - Sosa

Sosa Roasted Italian Hazelnut Pure Paste — caramelised sweetness and golden colour

Sosa Roasted Italian Hazelnut Pure Paste is made from rigorously selected Italian hazelnuts, roasted and finely ground with a 98.5% fruit content. Its characteristic golden caramel colour and sweet, caramelised and lightly buttery notes set it apart from standard roasted hazelnut paste — a more delicate aromatic profile, particularly prized in fine pastry and gastronomic ice cream.

Production

Italian hazelnuts are roasted then finely ground until a fluid, homogeneous paste is obtained. The addition of soya lecithin (E322) ensures a stable texture that is easy to incorporate and dose, without separation of the fat phases — an essential consistency for the professional laboratory.

How to use

• Incorporate directly into the preparation according to recipe.
• Adjust the quantity to achieve the ideal flavour and texture.
• Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
• Suitable for hot and cold preparations, adapting to many culinary techniques.
• Recommended dosage of 2 to 5% depending on the application, adjust to desired intensity.

Applications

Versatile across pastry, chocolate work, ice cream and gastronomic cuisine:

• Hazelnut ganaches and fillings, chocolate bonbons
• Ice creams and sorbets with golden hazelnut notes
• Mousses, entremets and cream fillings
• Fine pastries, brioches and viennoiseries
• Homemade pralinés and artisan confectionery
• Paris-Brest and hazelnut éclairs

Italian hazelnut vs roasted hazelnut — what's the difference?

Roasted Italian hazelnut offers a softer aromatic profile and a characteristic golden caramel colour. Pure Roasted Hazelnut Paste presents a darker colour and more intense roasted notes — Kosher certified, it is particularly suited to chocolate preparations where a powerful hazelnut signature is required.
