Piedmont P.G.I. roasted hazelnuts shelled and roasted in the oven, keeping the very fine skin intact (called perisperm), which covers and protects the fruit during exposure to high temperatures.
Only once cooled, after roasting, the hazelnut is placed in the peeler which gently removes about 80% of the perisperm.
At this point, we start the selection by hand, before sealing it in vacuum packs, which keep the fragrance, from 250g to 5kg.
On request, for professional pastry making, we can make different degrees of toasting, for minimum purchases of 30 kg.
We also make available a second choice P.G.I. Piedmont hazelnut in 5 kg packs (not well peeled, broken or smaller) with a 20% discount on the list price.
Ingredients: 100% Piedmont p.g.i. roasted hazelnuts
GLUTEN-FREE PRODUCT.
For sales above 5 kilos in a single package: 4% discount.
The roasted Piedmont PGI hazelnuts is an Italian gastronomic treasure.
In the heart of the Piedmont hills, where the climate is mild and the soil fertile, a true gastronomic treasure is born: the Piedmont Hazelnut PGI.
This authentic jewel of Italian agricultural tradition is not just an ingredient, but represents the passion and dedication of generations of growers who have made it a symbol of quality.
The history of hazelnuts in Piedmont dates back to ancient times. As early as the 16th century, local farmers began cultivating this plant, prized not only for its unique flavor but also for its culinary versatility.
With the arrival of the PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) in 1993, the Piedmont Hazelnut received official recognition that protects its authenticity and quality.
This distinctive mark guarantees that each hazelnut comes exclusively from one of the four Piedmont provinces: Alessandria, Asti, Cuneo, and Turin, where the climate and soil conditions are ideal for its growth.
The Piedmont pgi roasted hazelnuts is distinguished by its rounded shape and thin shell, which allows for a very high shelling yield.
Inside, the hazelnut is a light beige color, with a sweet and aromatic flavor and an intense aroma reminiscent of caramel and dried fruit.
It’s not just its flavor that makes it special: its nutritional values are equally extraordinary.
Rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants, it is a highly energetic food and beneficial for health, thanks to the presence of monounsaturated fatty acids that promote cardiovascular health.
Roasting is the magical moment that transforms raw hazelnuts into an extraordinary product. Through a controlled artisanal process, hazelnuts are roasted to maximize their flavor.
This crucial step requires attention and skill: temperature and time must be precisely calibrated to avoid compromising the quality of the fruit.
During roasting, the unmistakable aroma is released, and the final result is a product with an enveloping flavor, perfect for use in a variety of recipes.
Piedmont pgi roasted hazelnuts are widely used in both sweet and savory dishes. They are a key ingredient in traditional desserts, such as the famous gianduiotto, as well as in artisanal ice cream, pralines, and biscuits.
Let’s not forget their perfect pairing with chocolate, which further enhances their unique flavor. In savory dishes, they can add crunch to salads, meat dishes, or even as a base for sauces and pesto alla genovese.
Savoring of Piedmont pgi hazelnuts is an experience that engages all the senses.
The intense aroma released during roasting, the full, rounded flavor that envelops the palate with every bite, is a journey through the paths of Piedmontese tradition.
It’s an invitation to discover a region rich in history, culture, and a passion for quality agriculture.
By purchasing roasted Piedmont PGI Hazelnuts, you’re not just taking home a high-quality product, you’re also celebrating a piece of history and tradition.
Supporting local producers means helping to preserve a unique culinary heritage, which continues to surprise and fascinate palates of all ages. Discover the goodness of Piedmont PGI Hazelnuts and indulge in their irresistible flavor!
