Piedmont is a region renowned for its rich culinary heritage, including its prized hazelnuts. Within Piedmont lies the Langhe, a lush and fertile area celebrated as the world's most renowned region for hazelnut cultivation. Here, hazelnut trees produce the “tonda gentile”, a particularly sweet, delicate hazelnut made possible by the land’s the clay-rich soil and the salty sea winds from the nearby Ligurian coast.
The territory’s special environment, coupled with the family’s meticulous care of their orchards, produces hazelnuts of unparalleled quality. TASTËLANGHE has preserved their closely held traditions and techniques, while also embracing innovative and sustainable techniques to ensure their ancestral land continues thriving for future generations. And they share a true taste of their homeland with each of their gourmet hazelnut specialties.
Hazelnuts hold a special place in Italian cuisine, adding richness, crunch, and a distinctive nutty flavor to a variety of traditional dishes, including many beloved sweets. TASTËLANGHE specialties include a luscious dark chocolate hazelnut spread, a rich hazelnut cake, a sweet hazelnut granola and more all crafted to perfection. Each of the artisanal creations are not only a delight to the senses but add a taste of Italian territory, history, and culture to any kitchen.
