Net: 250g ☆ Staff Choice ☆ Roasted and shelled, 13/15mm calibre Nocciola del Piemonte I.G.P. — certified Piemonte origin

The benchmark Italian hazelnut — I.G.P. certified, grown in the Langhe hills of Piemonte and roasted until crisp. Denser, sweeter and more aromatic than standard varieties. Rough-chop into vinaigrettes, fold through chocolate work, scatter over salads and roasted vegetables, or eat straight from the bag.

Nocciola del Piemonte I.G.P. — the Piemonte hazelnut — is widely considered the finest hazelnut in the world. Small, round and compact, with a 13/15mm calibre, these have a crisp, clean snap when bitten and a flavour that is noticeably more intense, sweeter and more aromatic than standard hazelnuts. They arrive roasted and shelled, ready to use straight from the bag.

The Nocciola del Piemonte carries Protected Geographical Indication (I.G.P.) status, certifying that the nuts are grown and processed in the designated provinces of Cuneo, Asti and Alessandria — the hill country of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, a landscape recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is hazelnut territory in the truest sense: the same region that supplies the Italian confectionery industry, where these nuts are the foundation of gianduja, praline and premium chocolate production. What makes them different is density of flavour — the compact, spherical shape holds a higher oil content and a more concentrated nuttiness than larger, more common varieties. In the kitchen they work across sweet and savoury applications equally well: rough-chopped into a sherry vinaigrette for salads, blitzed into praline paste, folded through chocolate ganache, scattered over roasted vegetables, or simply eaten as they are.

Origin: Piemonte, Italy (I.G.P. — Nocciola del Piemonte)

Ingredients: Roasted hazelnuts (Corylus avellana) — Nocciola del Piemonte I.G.P.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, reseal tightly or transfer to an airtight container. Use within 4–6 weeks of opening for best flavour and crunch.

Net: 250g

Ready to use
These hazelnuts are roasted and shelled — no further preparation is needed. They can be used directly from the bag in any application.

Rough-chopped for vinaigrettes and salads
Chop by knife into rough, irregular pieces — this gives better texture than a food processor, which tends to create too much dust. Fold through a sherry vinaigrette (sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, salt) and spoon over bitter leaf salads, roasted beetroot, goat's cheese or grilled vegetables. The irregular pieces give pockets of crunch throughout the dressing.

Praline and nut pastes
Blitz in a food processor until the oils release and the mixture turns to a smooth paste — this takes several minutes and the texture will go through a crumb stage before becoming liquid. Use as a base for gianduja, fold into buttercream, or swirl through ice cream. For a rougher praline, pulse briefly until you have a mix of fine and coarse pieces.

Chocolate and baking
Chop and fold through brownie batter, scatter over the top of tarts before baking, or stir through melted chocolate and set as mendiants. Their compact size means they distribute evenly through batters without sinking.

Savoury
Roughly crush and scatter over pasta dishes — particularly good with brown butter, sage and winter squash. Toast briefly in a dry pan to intensify the flavour before adding to grain salads, roasted root vegetables or alongside soft cheese on a board.

Snacking
These are good enough to eat on their own, straight from the bag. The roast is already done — they are crisp, sweet and intensely nutty with no further preparation needed.
