roasted hazelnuts – 500g

Roasted Piedmont Hazelnuts in bulk

The roasted hazelnuts from Papa dei Boschi in the 500g bulk bag are whole IGP Piedmont hazelnuts of the Tonda Gentile variety, freshly roasted in the Alta Langa. The large bag for those who do a lot of baking, snacking, and gifting.

The 500g bulk bag brings whole, freshly roasted Piedmont Hazelnuts IGP of the Tonda Gentile variety into your home – the same quality as in the small bag, just more of them. Nothing but the pure nut, with no salt, no oil, and no additives. Designed for frequent users, Sunday bakers, and anyone who finds 200g runs out too quickly.

A bag for frequent users and bakers

500g sounds like a lot, but it is used up quickly if you like baking with hazelnuts. For nut cakes, tortes, chocolates, and entire trays of Christmas cookies, the large bag is twice as worthwhile. You save yourself the trouble of constant restocking in the middle of the baking season and always have the best nuts on hand.

Anyone who bakes during Advent knows how quickly nuts are used up. Depending on the recipe, you can chop or grind them, or use the kernels whole from the large bag without having to constantly buy more. A 500g bag also makes a great gift or small token for connoisseurs.

Because Papa dei Boschi only roasts when an order arrives, even the 500g bags reach you fresh, not as stock items. Nutty, buttery, aromatic – that's how you want your supply to be.

Crispy and fresh from the Alta Langa

The large bag also contains the Tonda Gentile delle Langhe, often referred to as the best hazelnut in the world: round, thin-shelled, and delicate in aroma. When roasted, it smells like caramel and tastes deeper and sweeter than any raw nut. Whether you snack on them plain or bake with them, they retain their fine, warm character.

A good supply is only worth it if the quality is right, and the Tonda Gentile delivers it: a clear, buttery roasted aroma that enhances every cake and every handful. Where cheap mass-produced goods often taste flat, every kernel here contains the aroma of the Alta Langa.

They are a delight on their own with a glass of wine, but in the 500g bag, they are primarily used in doughs, bases, and fillings. Those who prefer to buy smaller quantities can grab the 200g bag; those who need them finely ground for baking can choose the ground hazelnuts.

From the Noè family in Piedmont

The hazelnuts grow at the Noè family farm in Lequio Berria, high in the Alta Langa at an altitude of 700m. They have been growing the Tonda Gentile delle Langhe variety for three generations, without pesticides and using organic fertilizers, harvesting at the end of August when the nuts fall to the ground ripe and dry in the sun on the farm.

José Noè roasts the Piedmont hazelnuts himself instead of selling raw product, and vacuums them fresh. An occasionally broken vacuum seal during shipping is not a defect; simply transfer the nuts to a screw-top jar at home. This keeps the journey from the tree to your pantry short.

A 500g bag of Piedmont hazelnuts will last a surprisingly long time if stored tightly sealed and in a cool place – provided you don't keep coming by to snack on them.
