Toasted hazelnuts from Piedmont
Toasted 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 toasted peeled hazelnuts for sale on Shop Baldaiassa are hazelnuts belonging exclusively to the Tonda Gentile Trilobata variety (origin: ITALY - Piedmont), selected and toasted by hand with a medium toasting degree, which gives the fruit its unmistakable balanced but intense and enveloping aroma. The toasted hazelnuts from Piedmont 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 toasting process more homogeneous. However, before being toasted, 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 toasted daily in small batches and with a medium degree of toasting, they are subsequently subjected to skinning, in order to obtain toasted 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 toasted 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.
