Product Review of Penotti’s Hazelnut and Cookie Notti Spreads

Product Review of Penotti's Hazelnut and Cookie Notti Spreads

Recently I was asked if I would review some sweet spreads from Holland which sounded fascinating so I of course said, yes! Send them my way. I received three different Penotti spreads: Hazelnut and Caramel, Cookie Notti and Hazelnut and Vanilla.

Inside The Product

The striping of the two hazelnut spreads was very cool! That divet in the cookie butter was my fault BTW, I was too aggressive trying to pop open the top.

This is from the Hazelnut and Vanilla spread. It was National Waffle Day so I thought waffles would be the perfect test subject for all of these spreads.

The Taste Test

I made some waffles with some test pieces. On the left you have Hazelnut and Vanilla and on the right Hazelnut and Caramel. At first I skipped the Cookie Notti because Reg tends to hate speculoos.

I was really surprised. The spreads were way less sweet than I was anticipating which was refreshing! I am actually not a huge fan of super-sweet. This way you get interesting texture and flavour without getting kicked in the head with sugar. That said, there are 110 calories per tbsp.

The Hazelnut and Vanilla was very subtle. Way more subtle than I was expecting. It tasted good but was it worth the additional calories? Not for me. Reg and I both felt the Hazelnut and Caramel on the other hand was more interesting and delicious.

Every time I have tried a product with speculoos Reg does not like it so I thought I would be product testing Cookie Notti by myself.

Nope! He agreed to try it and he said it reminded him of gingerbread cookies. In a good way. This is a “delicious caramelized crush cookie butter” and I think that is one of the reasons why it is more agreeable than other cookie butters. The addition of cinnamon and cinnamon sea salt (?) made Cookie Notti very tasty and enjoyable on our waffles.

Foodie Conclusion

Product Review of Penotti's Hazelnut and Cookie Notti Spreads

All of the Penotti spreads were a treat. I loved their fun layered look and the glass jars. The flavours were good without being cloyingly sweet.

The Hazelnut and Caramel was my favourite, followed by Cookie Notti and then Hazelnut and Vanilla, which did not have as much flavour as the other two. Any company that can make a cookie dough spread Reg likes impresses the hell out of me. Good job Penotti!

Overall I give these spreads four out of five wooden spoons. There is something for everyone.

This just in! You can find these products in London Drugs, Safeway, Overwaitea, Walmart, Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro and Whole Foods aside of some independent stores.

    I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen that brand name here in Edmonton, although it may be available at some of our specialty grocers.

      Me either! Totally new to me Debra but if there is a place that sells foods from Holland I bet it will be there.

      I saw there was a crunchy version! I think it’s a great take on speculoos and hope you like it on your waffles too Audrey!
