Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

No, we do not add any refined sugar to our Chocolate Hazelnut Spread. The subtle sweetness comes solely from date powder, a natural and nutrient-rich sweetener.
We do use a small amount of non-GMO sunflower oil and organic sunflower lecithin to enhance texture and spreadability without compromising on quality.
And of course, no preservatives, just clean, simple ingredients you can trust.

Our chocolate hazelnut spread stays fresh for 9–12 months when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, we recommend refrigerating it to maintain peak freshness and flavour.

We use date powder because it’s a natural, unrefined sweetener loaded with fibre, antioxidants, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. It adds gentle sweetness without spiking your blood sugar like refined sugar or honey might. Plus, it’s a great way to sweeten food while keeping things wholesome and guilt-free.

Well, Date Powder is made from whole dates that have been dried and finely ground into a sweet, natural powder. It retains most of the nutrients and natural sugars found in dates, making it a great alternative to refined sugar. Here’s how it’s made:

• It starts with real dates (we use a blend of Arabian Dates)
• The dates are pitted, dried, and ground
• No additives, just the fruit in powdered form

While our chocolate hazelnut spread is sweetened with dates—which have a lower glycemic index than refined sugar—we always recommend checking with a healthcare professional if you're diabetic. That said, many people managing their blood sugar prefer dates over other sweeteners because they come with fiber and nutrients that support better blood sugar control.

A few reasons:
- Naturally sweetened with date powder—no added sugar
- Made in small batches to ensure quality
- Packed in glass jars, not plastic—better for the product and the planet
- Artisanal process—crafted with care, not mass-produced
- Clean label—just real, recognizable ingredients

At Brawny Bear, we’re committed to using the cleanest, simplest ingredients—without compromising on taste, texture, or shelf life. Here’s why you’ll find sunflower oil and lecithin in our nut spreads:

🌻 Sunflower Oil

We use a small amount of cold-pressed sunflower oil to give our spreads their smooth, creamy texture. It helps naturally blend the nuts and dates, so you don’t get a dry or gritty consistency.

It’s a neutral, heart-healthy oil that doesn't overpower the natural flavors of the nuts and chocolate. Unlike palm oil (commonly used in commercial spreads), sunflower oil is sustainable and non-GMO.
