DOOD.
Unless you have already reach a point of spiritual blending that is to your utmost satisfaction...
do NOT purchase, for yourself, that ShopRite brand of "Hazelnut" spread so audaciously packaged in a nifty glass container and graphically oriented towards a higher class of hazelnut spread snooty types, and proclaimed to be of imported specialness from Italy.
Cuz its BULLSHIT.
I had one spoon lick of the stuff, gagged, waited to give it a second try, licked again, gagged again, and unceremoniously re-capped that sucker and scooted it away from me across the table. It has not even been honored with hiding it in the cupboard. IT IS PURE SHAME, in tangible inedible form, in the small family that is hazelnut chocolatey spread satisfaction.
Do. Not. Buy. It.
Damn stuff tastes more like sunflower seeds & sun flower seed oil, than like hazel-nutty goodness, and in a way dishonoring the otherwise pleasant thing that is of a sunflower's product line. Granted, it lists the afore mentioned sunflower products in the spread's ingredients - which, I willingly admit to NOT having investigated before my purchasing of the afore mentioned offending food product.
In short?
Stick to buying "Nutella". For serious.
