Ricettario d'Italia

In breve

The dish in short

  • Toasted Nocciola Piemonte PGI hazelnuts 30–45%, sugar 20–45%, cocoa at least 25%; only vanilla, lecithin and salt may be added, so no milk.
  • Refined until no particle is larger than 25 microns, then tempered: it is very soft in the mouth, melting and a little sticky.
  • A triangular prism with rounded edges, shaped by hand with spatulas, extruded, extruded and cut, or moulded.
  • On average 4 g–12 g a piece when extruded or moulded, 8 g–16 g when shaped by hand.
  • Each piece is wrapped in aluminium foil within 12 hours of cooling.
