Hazelnut Ice Cream
A pure, creamy, and smooth ice cream infused with the intense, flavorful Italian hazelnuts from Piemonte—this is what defines our Hazelnut Ice Cream.
Our hazelnut ice cream has the signature velvety texture that characterizes all Kastbergs Dairy Ice Creams. We source the finest hazelnut paste from Piemonte, Italy—an area renowned for cultivating the world’s best hazelnuts. This rich, aromatic paste is carefully blended into the ice cream, creating a deliciously nutty and well-balanced treat.

Hazelnuts Grow Across Europe
Hazelnuts grow in most parts of Europe, including Denmark, and have done so for more than 10,000 years. Dried hazelnuts have a distinct flavor with a touch of bitterness, a characteristic aroma, and a rich, nutty fat content. Their versatility makes them a fantastic ingredient—especially in a creamy, flavorful ice cream.
At Kastbergs, we use hazelnut paste from a special region in Italy—Piemonte—which is widely recognized as the best area for hazelnut cultivation. The family behind Cascina Fontane, a farm that lives exclusively off hazelnut production, grows primarily Nocciola Piemonte I.G.P. delle Langhe—the most sought-after hazelnut variety for desserts, chocolate, confectionery, and other sweet treats. These hazelnuts are celebrated worldwide for their distinctive character and superior quality.
We source a dark-roasted hazelnut paste to ensure a bold and intense flavor in our ice cream. Since the base contains milk and cream, a strong, concentrated nutty taste is essential to maintain a rich, well-rounded profile.
A Favorite Among Chefs
Our Hazelnut Ice Cream is widely used in ice cream parlors and restaurants, where it is often a chef’s favorite. One of our featured desserts showcases this ice cream alongside red wine-poached plums, various creams, and crystallized dark chocolate—a combination that elevates the nutty and creamy notes of the ice cream.
