Toasting Hazelnuts, Making Butter and Spread at a Hazelnut Farm in Piedmont, Italy

Toasting Hazelnuts, Making Butter and Spread at a Hazelnut Farm in Piedmont, Italy | Claudia Romeo

The “Tonda Gentile Trilobata” is a unique hazelnut that grows in the northern Italian region of Piedmont. A favorite among pastry chefs (and home cooks) around the world, this hazelnut is renowned for its sweet flavors and its unique shape. I visited the Ronco Luigina Agricultural Company, a family-run hazelnut farm in Marentino, Piedmont, Italy to see how the family transforms the raw fruit into a variety of different products, including butters and spreads.

That "Proust's Madeleine" effect when Francesca ate the hazelnut... When you told her about the almonds I had the same effect: it reminds me when I was a kid, my grandpa brought me near Torre a Mare (I'm actually from Bari) and we ate some fresh almonds. I still can feel that unique taste

Another fantastic discovery 🥰 the care put in the whole production of those hazelnuts. Now I know why good hazelnuts and their byproducts are rightly expensive. So valuable.

Thank you Claudia. Outstanding education of the farm-to-table journey of the hazelnut. I have seen a pie chart of the contents of Nutella and it shows that over 50% is sugar and hazelnuts represent less than 20% of the makeup of the spread. This is a superior product that while it might not be healthy to eat a lot of it is certainly so much better than the mass produced Nutella. Thank you for introducing us to such a charming family who put quality over quantity.

Omg! This is so satisfying. I make my keto Hazelnut cheesecakes atleast 3 days a week. Watching the whole thing process from its inception made me emotional. I also get so geeky about temperature and humidity conditions to grow a nut. Always imaginatively think of growing Hazelnut in my backyard in Australia. Let’s see if I ever get it to fruition. Kudos to you Claudia 🎉 You’re so geeky and I love it ❤

They don't call their spread gianduia because the two ingredients need to have a specific ratio. Hope this helps!

Italy owes all the wealth it has today to the Turks and their trade with Anatolia. Venice and Genoa became richer than southern Italy thanks to their trade with the Turks. What are Italian hazelnuts?! How can the "Hazelnuts" that they are trying to produce for their own limited consumption by planting the saplings they brought from Turkey be the best hazelnuts?! Even the trees you show in the video look tiny and in Turkey we call these trees "wild hazelnuts". Their taste is very bland and has a moldy taste. The best hazelnuts in the world are Turkish hazelnuts. Even Nutella uses Turkish hazelnuts.
