Kraft Hazelnut Spread, 725g (Pack of 6) - 23.94$

This stuff actually tastes like hazelnut.

Not as good as the Lindt spread but still damn good.

Lindt makes a hazelnut spread?

Definitely more nutty than the Nutella you can buy here.

Found the Lindt hazelnut spread

Fancy looking jar

Small jar too, only 200 grams

Good thing for those who have environmental concerns, Kraft doesn't use Palm Oil in their spread.

Issue is best before I think aren't that long. So having 6 would mean likely not getting through them unless you can share with family or others. my family doesn't get through a jar that Quickly.

Looks like average price:

Would something as heavily processed as this even go bad? My mom's got a jar of Nutella three years open and it tastes just fine.

I bought this to avoid palm oil too.

I was really disappointed that something about it tasted off. Almost like a tangy after taste. I’m not returning to Nutella, but I won’t be continuing with Kraft either.

Just a word of warning for people to first try a small jar of this stuff before committing to 6.

Looks to be slightly above a average sale price of a single unit. The Kraft branded one doesn't get too much love here when compared to Nutella.

I found that it tasted almost exactly like the Kirkland, and I believe the Kirkland also has no Palm Oil. So I'll take the Costco at $5/kg over this at $5.50/kg.

Yeah, that's the taste of hazelnuts you're experiencing.

The you don’t want to commit to buying 6. Walmart has it for 2 for $9 for BC area, not sure for other provinces. It’s about the value.

Hmm interesting, where did you buy it? I haven't tried it myself but wondering if others feel the same about tangy after taste.

Oh no. Still don't like Nutella. The artificial flavour is probably "synthetic" vanilla, which Nutella lists as "flavouring (vanillin)"

There's a zillion brands of hazelnut spread available, go get one of the others then.

Are you trying to be clever or something? I know exactly what hazelnut tastes like and have even created my own hazelnut spread from scratch (it’s not really hard work, but family goes through enough of it it wasn’t worth the effort). In fact I’m kind of worried you don’t know what hazelnuts taste like if you’re expecting some acidic (almost fruity) tang.

No, there was just something that my tongue didn’t like. It could have been the kind of vanillla they used, or some other ingredient. But it doesn’t matter because I wasn’t criticizing the product- everyone’s experience will be different. The only point of my post was to share my experience so that others may try it first before investing in a 6 pack. Maybe their tongues will be like mine, maybe they will be different.

Superstore and it was in date. I’m not trying to ward anyone off trying this stuff. I’m suggesting they try it with a single jar, rather than a half-dozen. I’m trying to say it’s most certainly not a replica of Nutella. It’s better or worse, depending on your tongue.

To me with the tang I was tasting meant it wasn’t better than Nutella, but that still doesn’t mean I would continue buying Nutella. Instead I chose neither Kraft nor Nutella.

Try the Costco brand. It's really good and no palm oil as well

In my experience I agree this is the best tasting economically viable spread I’ve tasted so far. I’ll still be on the lookout for others though, journey is not complete yet.
