Imagine some selected Italian hazelnuts wrapped in a beautiful layer of molten rich dark chocolate! That is a combination no woman can ever say no to.
The world was blessed with Hazel nuts some 9,000 years back while we started making chocolates in 1750 BCE. However, it wasn’t until the 1800s that we found that combining these two would make an out of the world combination.
The people in Turin, Italy came up with the concept of gianduja, a paste made of hazel nut and chocolates. Soon after that, chocolate bars filled with hazel nuts hit the markets and have been ardently loved by women around the world ever since.
