Gianduiotto was invented by Italy as a way to make chocolate, which was very expensive, more accessible by blending in with hazelnuts that grew locally. But, wow! From that very practical solution came one of the world's favorite flavor combinations. Chocolate and hazelnut blended into a smooth creamy spread, filling or solid chocolate is pure bliss! Gianduiotti are a typical product of Asti, Italy, and made of a soft gianduja (chocolate hazlenut) paste. This recipe is characterized by a higher quantity of Piedmont hazelnut and cocoa paste, giving it a superb taste.
