Guido Gobino Crema Gianduja Spread

When Napoleon blockaded the Atlantic, Italy ceased to be the world's chocolate epicenter due to a severely diminished supply of cacao from the New World, and thus, the era of French domination of chocolate was born. Piedmontese chocolatiers, trying to survive with what trickle of cacao they could get, became inventive and started adding Tonda Gentile della Langa hazelnuts during the grinding process. Thus, Gianduja was born, and today, it is arguably Italy's most unique and recognizable chocolate tradition. With its current popularity, there are countless producers of Gianduja. Our job is to find the best, and after years of searching, we have done it. We give you Guido Gobino. Still using the now-protected and uber-expensive Langhese hazelnuts.
