Piemonte IGP toasted hazelnut flour from Cascina Fontane is an ingredient of absolute excellence for your sweet and savory creations. Cascina Fontane roasts the hazelnuts using the patented "Vertiflow" method. A jet of hot air suspends the product, causing it to rotate on itself: this ensures an even roasting of the hazelnuts. Furthermore, these, completely dehumidified, are perfectly cooked inside for a decidedly more fragrant taste. This process does not affect the flavor of the product and thoroughly cleans the nuts, preserving their oily component in the final sorting phase. The hazelnuts are manually selected one by one to remove defective ones and guarantee perfection. Alta Langa is the natural home of an excellent variety of hazelnuts, belonging to the species Corylus Avellanae: the Tonda Gentile Trilobata, awarded the "Protected Geographical Indication" since 1993. Cascina Fontane produces exclusively Piemonte I.G.P. Hazelnuts, which for their distinctive properties are the most requested by the confectionery industry, as well as being universally considered the best in the world.
