Kolev Elegant No Sugar Added Hazelnut Cream 200g

A no sugar added hazelnut cocoa cream from Bulgaria's Kolev Elegant, with 15% hazelnuts and sweetened with maltitol instead of sugar. The 200 g jar gives about 7 servings, and each 28 g serving has under 1 g of sugars.

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you:

• Love hazelnut chocolate spread on toast and pancakes and want to cut sugar.
• Avoid gluten, soy or palm oil.

May not suit you if you:

• Are allergic to milk or hazelnut, or severely allergic to peanuts and other nuts.
• Want a low-calorie product: a 28 g serving has 135 kcal.

Green Spot's view

The closest swap for the well-known hazelnut spreads if you are cutting sugar: 2.8 g sugars per 100 g versus over 50 g in regular spreads, and no palm oil. Keep in mind that no sugar does not mean low calorie; fat and calories are close to regular spreads, and the listed carbohydrate (5.96 g) does not include the maltitol (39 g). Enjoy it by the spoon, not by the jar.
