Crunchy, rich and irresistible - Lazio hazelnuts enhanced by slow, natural roasting

First-Choice Roasted Hazelnuts are top-quality Italian hazelnuts, grown in Tuscia Viterbese - a volcanic, fertile land that produces nuts with an intense aroma and uniquely natural sweetness. The slow, even dry roasting enhances the authentic character of Lazio hazelnuts: satisfying crunchiness, a warm, buttery fragrance, and a full, rounded flavor. No salt, no oil, no additives - just the pure goodness of roasted fruit, from a short, controlled supply chain to your table.

characteristics and properties: Even after roasting, hazelnuts retain their valuable nutritional profile: rich in monounsaturated fats that benefit cardiovascular well-being, Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant that protects cells, and essential minerals such as Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus and Calcium, which support muscular, bone and nervous system health. A source of plant-based protein and fiber, they are filling and easy to digest. Naturally gluten-free, suitable for all age groups.

how to use: Ready to enjoy straight from the package as a crunchy, wholesome snack at any time of day. A handful a day - approximately 25-30 grams - is the ideal serving for obtaining all their benefits. Excellent paired with dark chocolate, fresh seasonal fruit, blue cheeses or a glass of full-bodied red wine.

in the kitchen: Lazio roasted hazelnuts are among the most beloved ingredients in Italian artisan pastry-making. Finely chopped, they are the base of gianduja cream, soft nougat and praline. Coarsely chopped, they garnish fruit tarts, chocolate cakes, semifreddos and artisan ice creams. Whole, they add a special touch to seasonal salads, cheeses and mixed cheese and cured-meat boards. They are also perfect in savory preparations: in pasta sauces, autumn risottos with porcini mushrooms and crunchy coatings for meat and fish.
