Toasted Piemonte IGP Hazelnut Kernels

Toasted Piedmont PGI Hazelnut Kernels 250g

The chopped Hazelnuts Piemonte IGP toasted by Cascina Fontane is an ingredient of absolute excellence for your pastry creations and more.

Cascina Fontane carries out the toasting of hazelnuts using the patented method called “Vertiflow”. A jet of hot air allows the product to be suspended, making it rotate on itself: this ensures an even cooking of the hazelnuts. Moreover, these, completely dehumidified, are perfectly cooked inside for a distinctly more fragrant taste.
This process does not affect the flavor of the product and completely cleans the fruits, safeguarding their oily component in the final phase, that of sorting.
The hazelnuts are indeed selected manually one by one to eliminate defective ones and ensure perfection.

Toasted Piedmont PGI Hazelnut Kernels 250g: use in the kitchen

The Roasted Piemonte IGP Hazelnut Granola from Cascina Fontane is ideal for deliciously decorating any type of sweet preparation: cakes, spoon desserts, but also simply a bowl of ice cream or, why not, a plate of fruit. It can be used, for example, to garnish mixed fruit skewers previously dipped in chocolate fondue or a banana split accompanied by cream and chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries. The hazelnut granola is an integral part of the dough for “brutti ma buoni,” cookies originating from northern Italy made of hazelnut granola and meringue, and it can be used to prepare an excellent porridge, a staple of the English breakfast, made with oats, apples, honey, and cinnamon.
Hazelnut granola can also be used for savory creations, such as hazelnut pesto, sauce, or as an ingredient for hazelnut bread.

Roasted Piemonte IGP Hazelnuts: Storage Instructions

Roasted hazelnuts are a raw product, without preservatives or stabilizers, and require careful attention to maintain their chemical, physical, and organoleptic characteristics. Therefore, store the product following these basic rules.
The hazelnut contains proteins and fats that have the peculiarity of absorbing odors. Therefore, if the hazelnuts are stored in the same place as fragrant products, they may take on unwanted aromatic notes. Hazelnuts do not just “absorb” the smell of other foodstuffs; they can also “absorb” odors emitted by chemical substances or from the environment itself.
Protect the product from moisture. Hazelnuts do not contain preservatives: their preservation depends solely on low humidity and low temperature. Light and heat promote rancidity.
