***Note: This jar contains 180 g of hazelnut cream. When you open the jar, the gap at the top may give you the impression that some of its contents are missing. However, we can assure you that you will find 180 g of happiness inside!

Uses

Start your day on the right foot by spreading our hazelnut cream on toasted bread, pancakes or a piece of Favuzzi panettone. It is delicious as a topping for a banana or strawberries, yogurt or ice cream, or to add a luxurious touch to various desserts. You can also enjoy it by itself, right out of the jar!

Distinctives attributes

Each jar contains over 45% Sicilian hazelnuts. Rounder and whiter than other varieties, Sicilian hazelnuts are particularly flavourful and fragrant, in addition to being rich in calcium.

Artisan

Nino Marino and Vincenzo Longhitano were only 20 years old when they founded their confectionery business in the Sicilian town of Bronte. Fifteen years later, their sweets and spreads are still made by hand, with local ingredients such as a hazelnut variety from the Nebrodi Mountains, following traditional methods.

Origin

Bronte, Sicily, Italy.

History and anecdotes

Sicilian hazelnuts are harvested from mid-August through the end of September, when the clusters can easily be picked off the branches. They are dried in the sun for 5 to 7 days before being crushed and ground into the powder that is the main ingredient for our hazelnut cream.
