From Italy, With Love… All About: Gianduja
Our Dark Hazelnut Gianduja bars are one of our best-sellers, and we love just how indulgently creamy and rich they are. But what makes them so decadently delicious? Let’s talk all about gianduja and find out more…
Gianduja (pronounced jan-doo-ya) is a chocolate hazelnut that originally derives from the Piedmont region of Italy. Its name is actually derived from a traditional marionette character named Gianduja, who was popular in Piedmont and known for his love of food and wine. The character’s association with indulgence and pleasure is fitting given the delicious nature of gianduja!
How do we make it?
To make our gianduja, we roast our organic hazelnuts carefully, before grinding them into a rich, nutty paste. We then pour in our silky cacao until we’re totally satisfied with the creamy result. The hazelnut can affect the temperature at which the chocolate can be tempered, so we take extra care to control the quality of each perfect bar because of this.
The final product is a much softer experience than our usual chocolate bars – it means that each melt-in-your-mouth bite releases an influx of nutty flavour, the richness of cacao, and a rather dreamy silk sensation on the tongue.
Just like all of our products, our authentic gianduja is made without any artificial additives, preservatives, or refined sugars. It means that if you want to experience a dark hazelnut chocolate bar with no nasties, but all of the goodies, then this is the one for you.
With a distinct nutty flavour profile, and a brand new mouthfeel experience, this bar is truly unique. Its balanced sweetness and complexity of flavour make for a chocolate that’s an indulgent treat for anyone that loves nuts.
