Turkish Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, No Palm Oil, Melodi 400 g

A Turkish hazelnut chocolate spread made the way it was before palm oil and shortcuts took over the shelf. Melodi blends roasted hazelnut paste with cocoa into a glossy, pourable cream that tastes of the nut first and sugar second. What sets this jar apart is its build. Hazelnut paste makes up 20% of the recipe and cocoa powder 7.5%, with sunflower and hazelnut oils carrying the texture instead of palm oil. The result is a softer, more spreadable cream than the firm supermarket bars most people know, with a clean cocoa-hazelnut finish and no preservatives. Melodi has been making chocolate since 1957, when the family began in Samsun and later moved the workshop to Istanbul. Three generations later the same boutique approach goes into this spread: short ingredient list, natural vanilla, no palm oil, no additives, no alcohol. How to use it: spread it thick on warm toast or fresh bread for breakfast, swirl it through plain yogurt or oatmeal, layer it between crepes and pancakes, dip strawberries and banana slices straight into the jar, or fold a spoonful into warm milk for a quick hot drink. Because the oils are sunflower and hazelnut, it stays soft and easy to spread at room temperature. Ingredients: Sugar, hazelnut paste, vegetable oils (hazelnut oil, sunflower oil), cow milk powder, cocoa powder, emulsifier (sunflower lecithin), natural vanilla flavoring. Allergens: Contains hazelnut and cow milk. May contain peanut, sesame, walnut, and gluten. Net weight: 400 g in a glass jar. Store in a cool, dry place; do not refrigerate, so it stays smooth and spreadable.
