These Piemonte Hazelnuts come from Alta Langa a section of the Piemonte region where the cold nights allow the hazelnuts to mature slowly, and the salty sea breeze lends its savory minerality to the plant, perfectly balancing the hazelnuts’ sweet notes. Each of the trees produces only about 8 kg of hazelnuts, at least 30% less than other varieties, which accounts for their intense flavor and high quantity of healthy fats. After the hazelnuts drop off the trees, they are harvested, dried, roasted and packed by hand.
