The transparent bag makes it possible to immediately check the quality of a Tonda Trilobata Gentile del Piemonte hazelnut, because only when the hazelnut reaches a warm golden colour it is roasted to the right degree. Opening a bag of roasted hazelnuts is a heady experience, being immediately embraced by the inviting scent wafting through the air. Each bite thereafter brings out an intense combination of slightly sweet and delicately salty flavour, making the Piedmont hazelnut Trilobata an extremely versatile ingredient.
Roasted hazelnuts are a healthy choice, being rich in useful fatty acids, protein, fibre and antioxidants. They are perfect for a quick snack, to taste alone or to add to salads, yoghurt or desserts. Either whole, in grains or paste, with their delicate but at the same time intense flavour, they can enter both sweet and savoury preparations, offering a crunchiness and aromaticity that enhance the flavours of each dish. The use of vacuum-packed bags guarantees a product that retains its qualities over time, a perfect condition for anyone wishing to enjoy them at any time.
Clever tip: try heating them slightly in a non-stick pan before using them in their natural state or pound them in a mortar to garnish your dishes.
