What is Gianduja?
Gianduja is a versatile ingredient that can be used to create a wide variety of delicious treats, from gianduiotto chocolates to chocolate spreads.
The history of Gianduja dates back to the 19th century in Piedmont, where local chocolatiers, whose businesses were struck by a blockade of cacao beans, took advantage of the abundance of hazelnuts in the region and combined them with a smaller quantity of cocoa.
This unique mixture of ingredients gives gianduja a distinctive flavor and texture: the sweet and deep taste of the hazelnuts reveals a note of caramel and toffee, which pairs perfectly with the earthy and smooth undertone of cocoa.
