The history of Giandujotti dates back to 1865, when Turin became the capital of the nascent Italian nation.
At that time, cocoa was a luxury good, and to make it accessible to the public, local chocolatiers began mixing it with hazelnuts. From this idea, the famous ingot-shaped chocolate was born, inspired by the hat worn by the traditional characters of the Turin Carnival masks: Gianduja and Giacometta.
Our recipe has withstood the test of time, maintaining the balance of ingredients that determine its consistency and flavor. The selection of raw materials and the precise percentage of hazelnuts and cocoa butter used are the secret of a timeless delicacy.
