Roasted and peeled hazelnuts of the Tonda Gentile Trilobata variety from Piedmont: the most appreciated Italian hazelnut for its peelability and intense aroma when roasted
The roasted peeled hazelnuts for sale on Shop Baldaiassa are hazelnuts belonging exclusively to the Tonda Gentile Trilobata variety (origin: ITALY - Piedmont), selected and roasted by hand with a medium toasting degree, which gives the fruit its unmistakable balanced but intense and enveloping aroma. The Italian roasted hazelnuts of this variety, as well as for their sweet taste and the characteristic aroma, are famous all over the world for their easy peeling and for this they are considered precious hazelnuts.
After shelling hazelnuts are calibrated so as to divide them according to their diameter, making the roasting process more homogeneous. However, before being roasted, they are further selected by hand sorting, which allows to eliminate non-compliant fruits and remove any shell residues.
In our laboratory in Cortazzone, small Italian municipality in Piedmont, in Alto Monferrato, not far from Turin but still in the province of Asti, hazelnuts are roasted daily in small batches and with a medium degree of roasting, they are subsequently subjected to skinning, in order to obtain roasted and peeled hazelnuts ready for sale. To preserve their crunchiness and keep their aroma unchanged over time, they are vacuum-packed in food bags within 24 hours of roasting and then put on sale.
On Shop Baldaiassa you can buy vacuum-packed roasted and peeled hazelnuts in two different formats: the 1 kg sachet and the 250 g sachet which is very practical for snacks outside the home, as it has a freshness-saving zip closure.
