Guido Gobino Dark Chocolate-Covered Piedmont Hazelnuts combine the rich flavor of dark chocolate with the distinctive roasted-nut character of hazelnuts from Piemonte, Italy. Created by the celebrated Turin chocolatier, these chocolate-covered nuts offer a satisfying combination of smooth cocoa and crunchy hazelnuts in a convenient tin.
Hazelnuts from Piemonte
Piemonte is particularly renowned for its hazelnuts, especially the Tonda Gentile Trilobata variety grown in the Langhe hills. These nuts are prized in Italian confectionery for their delicate aroma and rich flavor, and they have played an important role in Turin's chocolate-making tradition for generations.
Guido Gobino maintains a close connection to this regional heritage, using Piedmont hazelnuts in many of its signature chocolates, including traditional giandujotti and Tourinot.
Dark Chocolate and Crunchy Hazelnuts
These chocolate-covered hazelnuts, known as dragées, feature a whole nut coated in dark chocolate. The contrast between the firm, crunchy hazelnut and the smooth chocolate coating creates a satisfying bite.
The dark chocolate brings a rich cocoa flavor that complements the natural sweetness and roasted notes of the hazelnuts. This combination makes the product a classic choice for anyone who enjoys Italian chocolate and nuts.
Guido Gobino identifies this variety as both vegan and gluten-free.
How to Enjoy
Enjoy as a small snack with espresso or after-dinner coffee, or serve in a bowl alongside other Italian chocolates. The tin also makes a lovely gift.
