A fine caramel scent rises from the jar, and you instantly think of a bag of candied almonds from the funfair. That exact flavor is captured here in a spreadable cream. A quick comparison shows what sets it apart from related products. Almond butter consists only of ground almonds, is unsweetened, and has a rather tart, nutty taste. Marzipan is kneaded from ground almonds and sugar into a firm, smooth mass. Brandgut’s almond cream, on the other hand, is made from candied almonds—that is, almonds with a caramel crust. It is sweet, spreadable, and crunchy because part of the crust remains as small pieces.

That’s where the scent of roasted almonds comes from: nuts that are heated with sugar until a crunchy caramel crust forms. Meike Grosch and Daniel Thaung have applied this principle to other nuts in Hamburg and brought it into a jar. The name Brandgut roughly translates to \"roasted goods.\" In this jar, it’s pistachios that are roasted and processed into a cream. A portion of the caramelized pieces remains, which is why it crunches when you eat it. This clearly distinguishes it from two products with which it is often confused. A pure pistachio paste consists only of ground pistachios and is more of a baking ingredient. With a pistachio chocolate cream, on the other hand, the chocolate is usually the focus. This cream lies in between: sweet like a spread, with almost half the jar being pistachios, and a crust that you can taste. The name is a little play on words between the English \"peace\" and the pistachio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pistachio cream tastes of roasted pistachio with caramel sweetness and a distinct pinch of sea salt. The texture is creamy yet crunchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you open the jar, it smells warm and toasted. The first spoonful then shows what makes the cream special: first comes the sweetness of the sugar crust, then the nutty, slightly green note of the pistachio. In between, small pieces of caramelized nut crackle. In the end, the sea salt ensures that the sweetness does not linger. With 1.4% salt, it is in the middle of the Brandgut range. The Mandelikat has slightly less at 1%, while cashew, pecan, and peanut have slightly more at 1.6%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color is not a bright ice-cream-parlor green, but a natural, muted green with brownish tones from the caramel. Anyone expecting a smooth, intensely green cream will have to change their expectations when opening it. Anyone who likes pistachios in their roasted form will get exactly that. The sweetness is clear; after all, sugar is the second most important ingredient after the pistachios. A thin spread is therefore usually enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Brandgut avoids additives, the nut oil will separate and settle at the top of the jar over time. The crunch sinks to the bottom. That is a good sign and not a mistake. Simply stir the cream thoroughly before use, and the oil and crunchy pieces will distribute evenly again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can spread the cream on bread, spoon it over ice cream, or fill it into crêpes. Cakes, cheese, and warm dishes are other areas of application. And, of course, it can also be eaten straight from the spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor breakfast, it goes well on fresh white bread, a croissant, or a bread roll with a little butter underneath. In the afternoon, it turns a simple vanilla ice cream into a small dessert. To do this, briefly warm two spoonfuls in a water bath; the cream will become more fluid and can be drizzled over the scoops. Folded into crêpes or pancakes, with a few raspberries on the side, it makes a quick Sunday dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen baking, you can use the cream as a filling for cinnamon rolls or as a layer between two sponge cakes. A thin stripe of pistachio cream also looks good on a cheesecake. The combination with cheese is bolder. Paired with ricotta, burrata, or a mild fresh goat cheese, it brings together sweetness, salt, and crunch. A dollop on yogurt with berries becomes a quick dessert. And in savory cooking, you can stir a teaspoon into a dressing made of lemon and olive oil. Over lamb's lettuce with pear and goat cheese, this provides both sweetness and salt.

In classic nut-nougat spreads, it shares the stage with cocoa and milk powder. Here, nearly half the jar consists of hazelnuts, with only sugar, sunflower oil, vanilla sugar, and sea salt added. That is the entire ingredient list. The second difference lies in the process. The hazelnuts are candied—heated with sugar until a caramel crust forms, just like the candied almonds you know from the fair. This is then turned into a cream that retains small, crunchy pieces.

Anyone who has ever eaten a slice of pecan pie knows the combination of nut, caramel, and pastry. The pecan is the star of the show. Originally from North America, it is a relative of the walnut but tastes milder and less bitter. Brandgut roasts these nuts—meaning they caramelize them with sugar—and turns them into a cream. What makes this variety special is listed in the ingredients: it is the only one in the Brandgut range without added oil. The other five varieties contain a little sunflower oil, but here, the fat from the pecan itself is enough.

This might sound unusual at first, as sweet spreads usually end up on light toast. But it is precisely a hearty bread with a crust that provides the perfect counterpart for this cashew cream. Strictly speaking, the cashew is not a nut, but the seed of a tropical fruit, the cashew apple. In the kitchen, however, it is treated like a nut and is classified among allergens as a tree nut. Cashew cream is different from cashew butter. Butter consists only of ground nuts, is unsweetened, and is rather neutral. Here, the nuts are first roasted—that is, caramelized with sugar—and then processed into a cream that retains small, crunchy pieces. The name is a play on words combining \"cashew\" and a shout of joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cashew cream tastes subtly nutty and mild, with caramel sweetness and a distinct salty note at the end. It is lighter and more restrained than the hazelnut or peanut varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCashew nuts are naturally low in bitterness and have a soft, almost buttery quality. The roasting process adds roasted notes and caramel, while the vanilla sugar provides a well-rounded sweetness. With 1.6% sea salt, this cream is among the more heavily salted Brandgut varieties. The salt keeps the sweetness in check and ensures it pairs well with bread rather than just being for dessert. Those expecting a strong, roasted nut spread will find this variety very mild. Those who enjoy delicate nut flavors will especially appreciate exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can spread the cashew cream on bread, add it to ice cream, or roll it into crêpes. It works just as well with cakes, cheese, and in cooking, and it is delicious straight from the spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts strengths really shine on hearty bread. Try it on mixed rye bread, whole-grain spelt, or a sourdough loaf with a dark crust. For afternoon coffee, it goes well on raisin bread or rusks. Over coconut or mango ice cream, it adds a touch of salt and crunch. In the kitchen, you can stir a spoonful into a sauce made from coconut milk and lime, for example for rice noodles with vegetables. And it makes a surprising counterpart to a young Gouda or a mild mountain cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore the jar in a cool, dark place. Because the nut oil separates and settles on top over time and the crunchy pieces sink to the bottom, give the cream a quick stir before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toast a slice of sourdough bread, spread a thin layer of cashew cream on top, and add a few slices of ripe mango.

Each of their six creams is created from roasted nuts, supplemented by sugar, sea salt, and—depending on the variety—vanilla sugar and sunflower oil. The pair avoids additives. For this reason, the nut oil separates from the rest over time, just as it does with any natural nut spread.

It is pasty and rather savory. This cream takes a different approach. The peanuts are first roasted—that is, heated with sugar until a caramel crust forms. Only then are they processed into a cream that retains small, crunchy pieces. The result tastes sweet and salty, like roasted peanuts from a fairground. By the way, botanically speaking, the peanut is not a nut at all, but a legume that ripens underground.

The sugar crust adds caramel and crunch, while the 1.6% sea salt provides a clear contrast. Unlike the other varieties, there is no vanilla sugar on the ingredient list here. This makes the peanut stand out even more directly. Anyone expecting a smooth, creamy peanut butter will be surprised by the crunchy texture.
