The name Piedmont Hazelnut P.G.I. refers to peeled and semi-finished fruits collected from the cultivation of the Tonda Gentile Trilobata variety of hazelnut grown in the Piedmont region, specifically in the area between the hills of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato.
We exclusively use the Gentile Trilobata Piedmont Hazelnut from the Langhe P.G.I. to make our hazelnut and gianduia gelato flavours. In contrast with other types of hazelnuts, the Gentile Trilobata Piedmont Hazelnut has a farther more intense and decisive taste and a “gentle” aftertaste. Hence, in Italian it gets the “nocciola tonda gentile”. This guarantees a gelato of much superior quality.
