In short
- Warm hazelnut chocolate spread toasts are a quick Sicilian-style breakfast or snack built around a hazelnut cream spread over warm toast.
- The spread is Scyavuru hazelnut cream, one of the nut creams in a range that also includes pistachio, almond, peanut and cocoa.
- Scyavuru makes its creams in Ribera, Agrigento, handling everything in-house from the nut to the jar since its farming roots in 1950.
- Other Scyavuru nut creams can replace the hazelnut cream, changing the flavour while keeping the same warm toast method.

Frequently asked questions
Which Scyavuru cream is best for warm hazelnut chocolate spread toasts?
The Scyavuru hazelnut cream is the natural choice for warm hazelnut chocolate spread toasts, because it provides the hazelnut flavour the toast is built around. Scyavuru is a Sicilian producer in Ribera, Agrigento, and makes its creams in-house from the nut to the jar, so the whole spread comes from one production chain.
Why should hazelnut chocolate spread toasts be served warm?
Serving the toasts warm softens the hazelnut spread so it turns silky and spreads easily across the bread. The gentle heat also releases the roasted hazelnut aroma, which makes the toast more fragrant and comforting than when the spread is put on cold bread, especially at breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Can I use pistachio or almond cream instead of hazelnut cream on warm toasts?
Yes, you can swap the hazelnut cream for another nut cream and keep the same method of spreading it on warm toast. The Scyavuru range also includes pistachio, almond, peanut and cocoa creams. Each one changes the flavour, so the toast will taste different from the hazelnut version, but it will work in the same way.
Where does Scyavuru hazelnut cream come from?
Scyavuru hazelnut cream comes from Ribera, in the province of Agrigento, Sicily. The company has farmed since 1950 and makes everything in-house, from the nut to the jar. Its nut creams, pastes and toppings are now sold in more than 60 countries, and the hazelnut cream is part of that range.
When can I serve warm hazelnut chocolate spread toasts?
Warm hazelnut chocolate spread toasts suit a quick Italian-style breakfast, a mid-afternoon snack or a simple sweet ending to a meal. They need only toast and a nut cream, so they are easy to prepare for one person or for a group, and they work well with a coffee or a glass of milk.
