Hazelnut Chocolate Spread

Papa dei Boschi – Crema Gianduia

The main ingredient of Papa dei Boschi Crema Gianduia is roasted hazelnuts from Piedmont, finely ground and kneaded and rolled with powdered sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, and vanilla until a creamy, homogeneous hazelnut spread is created. A high hazelnut content (60%) of freshly roasted Piedmont IGP hazelnuts, as well as the absence of foreign fats, soy lecithin, and vanillin, are indispensable quality features of this gluten-free spread.

The Piedmontese hazelnuts come from the Papa dei Boschi farm's own cultivation. The taste of Papa dei Boschi Crema Gianduia is so convincing that often no other hazelnut spread makes it to the table. It is creamy, incredibly nutty, and simply irresistibly delicious.

The Crema di Nocciola or Gianduia Cream originated in Turin. At the beginning of the 19th century, during Napoleon's rule, high tariffs were imposed on goods from England and English colonies. This included cocoa. The clever Turinese extended the chocolate with finely ground, roasted hazelnuts and winkingly named the confection Gianduia, a traditional character in Italian Carnival. The taste of this emergency solution was so convincing that the recipe for Crema Gianduia was retained for centuries.
