Creative Process

Our journey began with the recognition of a market gap for authentic hazelnut flavors in the US. By focusing on the natural richness of hazelnuts, we sought to create products that not only satisfy the taste buds but also respect the environment and the people behind the production. Our creative process involved meticulous product development, from sourcing the finest hazelnuts in Turkey to crafting recipes that highlight their natural taste and nutritional value. Collaboration with local farmers and an unwavering commitment to sustainability and fairness were pivotal in shaping our unique offerings.

Hazelicious has successfully introduced a new category in the nut milk industry, marked by innovation, superior quality, and ethical production. Our products have been embraced by consumers seeking healthier and more authentic alternatives to traditional hazelnut spreads and milks. Furthermore, our efforts have contributed to improving the livelihoods of farmers and setting higher standards for ethical practices within the industry.
