Smooth milk chocolate shells surround a soft, creamy Gianduja filling, bringing together chocolate and finely ground hazelnuts in one of Piemonte’s most celebrated flavour combinations.
Gianduja was born in Turin in the 19th century, when local chocolatiers blended cocoa with the hazelnuts grown throughout Piemonte. The result is famously smooth, rich and melting, making a particularly delicious centre for these festive chocolate stars.
Beautifully presented for Christmas, they make an easy gift for friends, hosts and colleagues alike. Naturally, an excellent way to give someone a gold star for the year.
Just as good opened at home and passed around with coffee, although they have a habit of disappearing rather quickly.
