Organic fermented hazelnut paste

Lacto-fermentation is an ancestral culinary process that reveals and transforms the flavours of foods. For around 48 hours, the raw hazelnuts ferment under the action of live cultures (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus), which gives the paste its unique character: a creamy texture, a pronounced taste and a lively, slightly tangy note.

An unpasteurised paste : it retains the cultures from fermentation. It is far more delicious to add a spoonful of fermented paste to one of your meals every day.

A unique, slightly tangy taste : lacto-fermentation develops complex aromas that cannot be found in a simple hazelnut purée. This vibrant note lifts savoury preparations (salads, sauces, vegetable creams, soups) as well as sweet ones (yoghurts, smoothies, home-made ice creams, raw pastries).

Composition : raw whole organic hazelnuts and plant-based cultures. The average nutritional values per 100 g are given in the "Practical info" tab. Fermentation takes place at low temperature, without pasteurisation.
