Nutty

Nutty is a flavor profile characterized by the taste and aroma of nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts. It can also refer to a texture that mimics or evokes this nutty quality, often associated with roasted or toasted foods that develop rich, warm, and slightly sweet notes. In culinary contexts, describing a dish or product as nutty suggests it has a distinctive, wholesome, and sometimes slightly bitter or earthy flavor derived from nuts or their flavor compounds. This term is commonly used in coffee, chocolate, and baked goods to highlight its rich, toasted qualities.
