Collection: Spreads

Essential Creme makes up most of this collection, and for good reason — their pistachio and hazelnut chocolate spreads have a genuinely different texture to the mass-market jars most people know, with a proper nutty bite rather than just sweetness. Creamy pistachio, crunchy pistachio, pistachio and matcha, and creamy hazelnut chocolate cover the range, all made without dairy.

These spreads do more than sit on toast, although they're good at that too:

• Swirled through a bowl of oats or yoghurt
• Used as a filling for croissants, doughnuts or tarts
• Melted slightly and drizzled over waffles or pancakes
• Piped as a layer in a cake or dessert cup
• Sold as a retail item alongside the coffee counter

Retail 225g jars suit café counters and grocers, while the 1kg and 4kg cartons are built for bakeries and dessert kitchens that use it as an ingredient rather than a topping. Wholesale rates are available to food-service customers across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the ACT.
