Spreads
It is said that Piemontese confectioner Pier Paul Caffarel started to experiment with the local hazelnuts that flourish in the Langhe hills when cacao was rationed during the Napoleanic wars, creating the first “gianduja,” the beloved chocolate hazelnut spread, in the 1860s. From there, the rich tradition of nut spreads took off! Enjoy some of the finest Italian spreads on toast, gelato, or even just with a spoon.
