"Hazelnut coffee has a unique way of emphasizing and showcasing java beans' natural nutty tones ... that is, when it's done right. Hazelnut-flavored creamers have garnered a less-than-stellar reputation in the coffee-lovers community for their tendency toward cloying sweetness and overpowering artificiality. For this reason, folks seem to either love it or hate it. As our taste-tester notes, Califia Farms' Toasted Hazelnut Almond Creamer claimed first-place despite the fact that they are "not usually a fan of hazelnut coffee" because it's typically "too in your face.""
"As one Reddit foodie laments, "I have never found one non dairy creamer that isn't horrible with aftertaste!" Enter, Califia Farms Toasted Hazelnut. Quoth our reviewer, "[I]nstead of earthy, the flavor is almost buttery and rich. It buddied up to my cup of coffee really well, pulling out even more of those deep chocolate and caramel notes [...] you don't sacrifice any richness or depth of flavor.""
Califia Farms Toasted Hazelnut Almond Creamer ranked first among ten Califia Farms coffee creamers. The creamer emphasizes coffee's natural nutty tones while avoiding cloying sweetness and artificial flavors common in many hazelnut creamers. The product delivers less sweetness than competitor nondairy creamers while offering a thick, creamy, luscious mouthfeel. Its toasted-hazelnut profile reads as buttery and rich, complementing deep chocolate and caramel notes in coffee. The creamer appeals to both hazelnut fans and previous skeptics by preserving richness and depth of flavor without an off-putting aftertaste. The product is plant-based and made from nutrient-dense nuts.
