Piedmont Hazelnut

Piedmont Hazelnut has become synonymous with exceptional quality and unparalleled flavor. Perfectly round and uniquely fragrant, it represents the excellence of Italian agriculture, adding a distinctive touch to desserts, creams, and gourmet dishes. Born in a special region, it embodies tradition and dedication to creating an extraordinary product. Stories passed down through generations tell that the first hazelnut orchards were planted in the area between Feisoglio and Cravanzana before expanding throughout the surrounding region. A symbol of passion and authenticity, Piedmont Hazelnut is more than just an ingredient—it is an experience that reflects the deep connection between land, quality, and tradition.

The gradual expansion of hazelnut production across the entire Piedmont region also allowed lower-quality products—due to differences in climate, soil composition, and disease susceptibility—to fall under the umbrella of PGI Piedmont Hazelnut. In 2019, the EU approved a modification to the PGI Piedmont Hazelnut production regulations, introducing the name “Langhe” for these hazelnuts. As a result, only hazelnuts and derived products originating from the lands of Bassa and Alta Langa can now bear the title “PGI Piedmont Hazelnut from Langhe,” recognizing the superior quality of the original product.
