Does your child have a sweet tooth? Do you find him or her constantly asking for chocolate or candy? Most likely, you are searching for a healthy alternative to fill your child’s dessert void. Look no further than Nocciolata—an organic hazelnut spread with cocoa and milk. This deliciously creamy treat is perfect on a crepe or a piece of toast topped with sliced bananas and strawberries, and can even be used as frosting for a cupcake! We promise Nocciolata is a treat that the whole family will enjoy! Festival-goers also enjoyed Nocciolata at the Kids Food Festival on February 28th + March 1st in Bryant Park.

From the Mouth of a Kid:

It’s smooth and chocolaty! I love the way it tastes AND I love that my mom lets me eat it!

From the Eyes of a Parent:   

I love Nocciolata because it is better for you than the average chocolate hazelnut spread and it tastes better, too! Nocciolata is also milder and thinner than the average chocolate hazelnut spread, plus it is organic!  My kids will eat anything when I spread Nocciolata on top! It serves as a great, versatile snack AND satisfies everyone’s sweet tooth.

The Icing on the Cake:    

Nicciolata contains no artificial flavors or colors, hydrogenated fat, GMOs, or palm oil. It contains all-natural raw ingredients, is USDA certified organic, and is gluten free.

The spread is made in a special cooking process in which it is gently pressed for 60 hours.

It is made from the Rigoni family’s traditional, family recipe including ingredients such as:

• Dark chocolate from the Antillean Islands
• Italian Hazlenuts
• Brown sugar
• Skim milk
• Bourbon vanilla extract

Time to Eat?!

Spread Nocciolata on toast, crepes, or your favorite fruit for breakfast or a mid-day snack. You can even eat Nocciolata with dessert as a frosting for your cupcakes or cakes.

Mix it Up!

Make a dessert pizza with the Nocciolata as the sauce and use apple slices and walnuts as the toppings.
