Toasted IGP hazelnut flour

Toasted Piedmont IGP Hazelnut Flour 250g

The flour of Hazelnut Piemonte PGI toasted by Cascina Fontane is an ingredient of absolute excellence for your sweet and savory creations.

Cascina Fontane carries out the toasting of the hazelnuts using a patented method called “Vertiflow”. A jet of hot air allows the product to be suspended, causing it to rotate on itself: in this way, a uniform cooking of the hazelnuts is guaranteed. In addition, these, completely dehumidified, are perfectly roasted inside for a decidedly more fragrant taste.
This process does not affect the flavor of the product and thoroughly cleans the fruits, preserving their oily component in the final phase, that of sorting.
The hazelnuts are indeed manually selected one by one to eliminate defective ones and ensure perfection.

Hazelnut Piemonte PGI: excellence of the Alta Langa

The Alta Langa is the natural homeland of an excellent variety of hazelnuts, belonging to the species Corylus Avellanae: the Tonda Gentile Trilobata, which has been awarded the title of “Protected Geographical Indication” since 1993. Cascina Fontane exclusively produces Hazelnut Piemonte I.G.P., which, due to their distinctive properties, are the most sought after by the confectionery industry, and are universally considered the best in the world.

Toasted Piemonte Hazelnuts: storage methods

The toasted hazelnut is a raw product, free from preservatives or stabilizers, and requires care to maintain its chemical, physical, and organoleptic characteristics. Therefore, store the product by following these basic rules.
Hazelnuts contain proteins and fats that have the peculiarity of absorbing odors. Therefore, if you store hazelnuts in the same place as odorous products, they may take on undesirable aromatic notes. Hazelnuts do not only "absorb" the smell of other foods but can also "absorb" odors emitted by chemicals or from the very environments.
Protect the product from moisture. Hazelnuts do not contain preservatives: their preservation depends exclusively on the low humidity and low temperature. Light and heat promote rancidity.
