Another hurrah for chocolate lovers, this hazelnut spread is uber smooth and glides easily onto toast. It’s milder on the cocoa, which makes it more kid-friendly than Nutteree’s version.

The combination of roasted cashews and pecans gives this cinnamon-spiked, made-in-Australia nut butter a sumptuous, thick consistency. We love the deep character the maple syrup adds too.

It’s a playful contrast between the refreshing, citrusy scent of organic orange extract, and the toasty depth of almond butter. It’s considerably thicker than the rest of the nut butters in the line-up, so the best way to enjoy the chunkiness is to spoon this over vanilla ice cream.

We couldn’t help but give a contented sigh after a spoonful of this almond butter, thanks to its lush creaminess, and a toasty aroma that made us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It’d be perfect blended into a thick smoothie.

If it’s an intense chocolatey high you’re after, Nutteree’s dark choc hazelnut number has you covered. The bitterness of the cocoa is countered by the natural sweetness of honey, and there is just a hint of sea salt to brighten up the heavy flavours.
