Hazelnuts and hazelnut spread

History of the product

The Montecorona Estate features 8 hectares of hazelnut groves, about 4000 trees, made up of several traditional varieties such as “Giffoni”, “Nocchione” and “Romana”, as well as a parcel of a variety born thanks to the collaboration with the University of Perugia, called the “Francescana”, whose name recalls St. Francis of Assisi.

Through careful single-varietal harvests, it was discovered that some of these varieties were more suitable for niche production.

For this reason, <strong>toasted hazelnuts</strong> were conceived, vacuum-packed: crunchy, with an intense and aromatic flavour tending towards sweet and roasted.

In addition to the roasted hazelnuts, the Tenuta also produces <strong>hazelnut spread</strong>, with an inebriating scent that immediately brings back the aromaticity of freshly processed hazelnuts.

The hazelnut cream is produced with 52% roasted hazelnuts and is gluten-free, lactose-free and palm oil-free.
