Description
Combining 30% locally grown hazelnuts with cacao, Hogarth creates a rich semi-sweet Gianduja bar. Gianduja is a soft hazelnut chocolate, smooth and velvety due to the hazelnut oil lowering the melting temperature of the chocolate. The resulting experience is a silken mouth feel and lingering roasted hazelnut flavor.
The original Gianduja came from northern Italy. Legend tells us that cocoa supplies were limited during the Napoleonic Wars so a chocolate maker in the Piedmonte region added roasted hazelnuts to supplement the cocoa, and Gianduja was born.
