Roasty, intense, and with a fine crunch on the spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehazelnut spread\u003c\/strong\u003e Haselgenuss from Brandgut is a crunchy spread made from roasted hazelnuts, in a 160g jar from Hamburg-Ottensen. With almost 50% hazelnuts, a touch of sugar, vanilla sugar, a little sunflower oil, and a hint of sea salt, only 5 ingredients go into the jar – no palm fats, no emulsifiers, no industrial cocoa. Haselgenuss was the first variety that Meike and Daniel developed in their creative kitchen in Hamburg, and is thus the debut product from which the entire Brandgut range has grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"spk-sensorik\"\u003eRoasty, intense, with a slight crunch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon opening the jar, the typical, warm, caramel-like scent of freshly roasted hazelnuts rises – a smell that evokes every Christmas market in your mind, but without the children's carousel. The cream has a deep brown, coffee-cream tone, significantly darker than the caramel-light pecan variant YES, Pe Can. A little oil may settle at the edge – that's part of the Brandgut concept, because no emulsifiers artificially hold the cream together. Just stir vigorously with a spoon, and it's ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the tongue, the \u003cstrong\u003ehazelnut spread\u003c\/strong\u003e is first creamy and soft, then comes the intense hazelnut depth with a roasty-nutty tone, and finally, the fine sea salt ensures that nothing tastes bland – roasty, creamy, with a hint of salt. The crunch collects at the bottom: small caramelized nut pieces that give the spread its texture. Those who frequently reach for the spread know: it gets crunchier at the bottom. Therefore, the simple rule of thumb: stir well so that liquid and crunch remain fairly distributed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"spk-verwendung\"\u003eWe like it thick on sourdough with butter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehazelnut spread\u003c\/strong\u003e is the honest alternative to industrial chocolate-nut spreads: no chocolate, no palm fat, just pure hazelnut. We like it best spread thickly on fresh bread – especially on hearty sourdough with a wafer-thin layer of butter underneath. The butter provides a contrast over which the hazelnut particularly happily wanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also like it in muesli: a spoonful in the bowl, banana on top, a few raspberries – wonderful. It goes well with porridge, vanilla ice cream, and even works as a filling in a classic chocolate cake or a nut braid in autumn. If you like to experiment, try it for dinner: a dollop with strong mountain cheese, a young Pecorino, or freshly grated Parmesan – hazelnut and cheese have been friends since Italian rural cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur tip: add a spoonful to hot oat milk, stir vigorously – and you have a homemade hazelnut cappuccino without a sugar feast.

The two worked together for almost 10 years in a Hamburg advertising agency before venturing into their own creative kitchen in 2014. The catalyst for Brandgut, as they still tell it, was a walk with a bag of roasted hazelnuts at the Hamburger Dom – the warm, fairground sweetness of the roasted nut never left them. Why not bring exactly that into a jar?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea became Haselgenuss – the first product of the small manufactory, where the artisanal production was developed. The hazelnuts are caramelized in copper kettles, finely ground, and processed into the crunchy spread. Everything is vegan, without additives, handmade in Hamburg-Ottensen. After Haselgenuss, other varieties were added, but the roasted hazelnut remains the original form.
