Davide Barbero Gianduja Chocolate with Crunchy Hazelnut Torrone Pieces.

Two great Piemontese traditions meet in one particularly indulgent creation: soft, melting Gianduja chocolate and crisp pieces of hazelnut Torrone.

Wonderfully Festive Italian Chocolates

Davide Barbero takes its traditional Torrone and breaks it into crunchy pieces before folding them through smooth Piemontese Gianduja. In the producer’s own concept, the Torrone becomes granella — small crisp fragments — suspended throughout the soft hazelnut chocolate.

Made in Asti by Davide Barbero, the result is a celebration of Piemonte’s extraordinary relationship with hazelnuts: finely ground into silky Gianduja in one form, then transformed into crisp, caramelised Torrone in another.

Break into pieces and enjoy with coffee after dinner. The contrast between melting Gianduja and crunchy Torrone is very difficult to stop at one piece.

Piemonte

Piemonte (or Piedmont) is the second largest region of Italy, found in the north west of the country. Its largest city and the original capital of Italy is Turin, the bustling business and culture hub of northern Italy. Turin is filled with a mixture of 16th and 18th century renaissance, baroque and neo classical architecture. More up-to-date, it is also home to Juventus FC, one of Italy’s best football teams.

Moving away from the cities, Piedmont is known for its connection to the Alps. Almost half of the region is covered by mountains, making it one of Italy’s top skiing destinations. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.

Besides wine, the region also produces a vast amount of Italian risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli and 11 other varieties of rice are grown in paddy fields, irrigated by river water.
