Here it is, the best hazelnut in the world: the Piedmont Hazelnut PGI in all its fragrance and goodness! Cascina Fontane performs the roasting using the patented method called "Vertiflow." A jet of hot air suspends the product, making it rotate on itself: this ensures uniform cooking of the hazelnuts. Additionally, these are completely dehumidified, resulting in perfectly cooked insides for a decidedly more fragrant taste. This process does not affect the flavor of the product and thoroughly cleans the fruits, preserving the oily component in the final phase, the sorting. The hazelnuts are manually selected one by one to remove defective ones and ensure perfection. The Piedmont Hazelnut PGI: excellence of Alta Langa Alta Langa is the natural home of an excellent variety of hazelnuts, belonging to the species Corylus Avellanae: the Tonda Gentile Trilobata, since 1993 bearing the designation "Protected Geographical Indication." Cascina Fontane exclusively produces Piedmont Hazelnuts P.G.I., which, due to their distinctive properties, are the most sought after by the confectionery industry, as well as being universally considered the best in the world.
