The right format for every kitchen: A guide to Nocilla Professional

Whether you run a busy hotel breakfast service, a patisserie, or a high-volume catering operation, the format you work with matters as much as the ingredient itself. Nocilla Professional has been designed from the ground up with food service in mind — offering a range of formats that match the real demands of a professional kitchen. Here’s how to choose the right one for you.

A professional range built for versatility

Nocilla Professional is available in five formats and comes in two flavours Original (cocoa and pure hazelnut). Both are formulated as a fluid spread that flows smoothly at room temperature, without any need to heat it first. It is also made without palm oil, making it a choice that sits comfortably on any modern menu.

Each format has been developed with specific kitchen situations in mind. Understanding those differences is the key to reducing waste, saving time, and presenting dishes with the finish they deserve.

The 750g Squeezy Bottle: precision, speed, and zero mess

The 750g squeezy bottle is arguably the most versatile format in the Nocilla Professional range. Because the bottle is stored and used cap-down, the spread sits permanently at the nozzle end, ready to flow the moment you need it. Four features make this format stand out in a professional environment:

  • Less waste. The inverted design means you use virtually every gram of Nocilla in the bottle. No residue is left clinging to the sides.
  • Faster, easier dispensing. The fluid formula and gravity-assisted position mean the spread comes out immediately, with minimal effort — essential during a busy service.
  • No-mess valve. Nocilla’s squeezy bottles feature an integrated valve that prevents dripping between uses, keeping your workstation clean and your portions controlled.
  • Ideal for decorating. The precision nozzle gives chefs real control for finishing desserts, topping pancakes and waffles, drizzling over pastries, or any application where presentation counts.

When you need to work quickly, decorate beautifully, and keep your kitchen tidy, the 750g squeezy bottle is the format to reach for.

The 2kg Tub: the workhorse of the pastry kitchen

For operations that use Nocilla in volume — as a filling for croissants, muffins, and layered cakes; as a base for hot drinks and milkshakes; or as an ingredient in layered desserts — the 2kg tub offers the ideal balance of quantity and ease of use. 

Its wide-mouth design gives easy access with a spoon, spatula, or piping bag, and it is equally well suited to both cold assembly and baked applications. It’s available in regular cocoa and hazelnut flavours, both with our special fluid recipe

The 3kg Tin: reliability at scale

The 3kg tin is the format of choice for high-volume bakeries, central production kitchens, and catering operations where Nocilla Original is used daily in large quantities. 

This robust container ensures stable storage, and the generous capacity reduces the frequency of restocking during a working day. 

The creamy texture is perfect as a base ingredient for ganaches, fillings, and baked goods produced at scale and makes it absolutely irresistible.

The 15g Single-Serve Portion: hospitality made simple

Hotels, breakfast buffets, airline catering, and café table service have a specific need: a portion that is hygienic, individually presented, and requires no preparation whatsoever. The 15g single-serve portion of Nocilla Original answers that need precisely. 

Each unit is ready to place on a tray or table, making it ideal for continental breakfasts served alongside toast or brioches, and any setting where portion control and food safety are priorities.

23kg and Bulk: for industrial-scale production

For food manufacturers, industrial bakeries, and large-scale producers incorporating Nocilla as a component ingredient, the 23kg format and bulk supply options remove the constraints of smaller packaging entirely. Consistent quality, reliable supply, and a format optimised for mechanical or large-batch processes.

A great ingredient is only half the story. The other half is having it in the right form, at the right moment, ready to use without friction or fuss. That is precisely what the Nocilla Professional range has been built around — not a single product, but a considered family of formats that adapts to the rhythm of your kitchen rather than asking your kitchen to adapt to it.
