Before you dive into a jar of spread, it's worth knowing: what's the difference between spread and nut spread? How to use them? And why does each nut taste so different?
Paste vs. Cream – what do you need to know?
Nut paste – 100% nuts. Nothing else.
Nut paste is a product with a simple composition - inside you will find only nuts .
A single-ingredient mix of freshly roasted and ground nuts of the highest quality. No added sugar, no palm oil, and no milk powder – a completely vegan product.
It's a rich source of flavor and nutritional value. At Good Noot, we prioritize the quality of our raw materials—that's why our spreads naturally vary in consistency and color. Each one tastes different, because each nut has a unique story .
Nut cream – the sweeter side of nuts
Nut spreads are ready-to-eat dessert-style products. Their classic versions also contain sugar or natural sweeteners, while the sugar-free versions also contain natural sweeteners.
Nut creams – contain a very high nut content, with carefully selected additives giving them a mild, dessert character.
This is a delicious choice for those looking for a nutty boost with a sweet twist.
We have nut creams suitable for vegans and vegetarians, as well as those with a milky touch, such as the delicious Choconoot® hazelnut and cocoa cream.
How to use pastes and creams?
These are not substitutes – they are completely different products with different culinary applications.
Nut pastes are best used in the kitchen as an ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Whether you're baking cakes, making homemade tart bases, brownies, or cookies, adding nut paste will add depth and a unique flavor . In Asian cuisine, you can use them to prepare coconut milk-based sauces , curries, or salad dressings. They're also a great choice for energy-boosting oatmeals and smoothies—the pastes provide natural protein, fat, and flavor without unnecessary additives.
Nut spreads, on the other hand, are designed for pleasure – ready to eat immediately . Perfect for spreading on toast, croissants, waffles, or pancakes. Baked goods gain a sweetness and silky texture – they work wonderfully as a topping, filling, or decorative layer in cakes and tarts. If you're craving something delicious without any effort, nut spreads are a ready-made answer to your sweet cravings.
If you're avoiding added sugar, single-ingredient, 100% pure spreads like Tylko Pistacja (Only Pistachio), Tylko Hazelnut (Only Hazelnut), Tylko Almond (Only Almond), or Peanut Butter are perfect choices. If you want to enjoy a sweet, creamy flavor right away, choose our nut spreads, such as the beloved and already delicious Pistachio pistachio spread.
How to choose – paste or nut cream?
"There's no better or worse – everyone has different needs. The spread is the base – delicious, 100% nuts. The cream can be compared to a ready-made dessert, worth eating with a spoon straight from the jar. Sometimes you cook, bake, and experiment with the spread, sometimes you reach for a spoonful of the cream for dessert – and that's great," explains Orzechomaniak.
