Yes it is. It is labelled 'Flavorganics' pure hazelnut extract.
Certified Organic, non - GMO.

No web address on the package but a Fax and Telephone number

Be careful to get a product made 'for human consumption' a food product
and not an aroma product. Hazel nut paste can sometimes be found and
relatively easily made but i would not know how to use that for coffee,
except perhaps to mix it with cream or milk in a blender or processor
and use as a home made version of the hazelnut creamer for coffee.

When i put the extract in the ground coffee it is almost as good as the
commercially available hazelnut coffee and i probly am just not using
enough extract for a long enough period of time, but maybe the whole
beans, as i wrote, is the answer, letting them sit longer in the
extract.
