Grab a spoon and get ready

Trust us, you'll want to dig into this Noccioliva, or Smooth Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, from Il Colle del Gusto the minute you open the jar. Dip your spoon into this silken chocolate hazelnut spread and let your taste buds be whisked away by notes of bittersweet dark chocolate punctuated by roasted hazelnuts. Plus, it's made with Italian extra virgin olive oil (no palm oil here), so move over Nutella, there's a new spread in town.

If you choose to put the spoon down (we applaud your willpower!), there really is no wrong way to use this decadent spread. Spoon it on ice cream, slather it on toast or bake into bread pudding. Our friend and fellow gastronaut, Elizabeth Minchilli, food blogger and author of Eating Rome, pairs Noccioliva Spread with orange marmalade to create her addictive Orange-Chocolate Crostata. Although, even she admits that sometimes it's just her and a spoon. We like your style, Elizabeth.
