Nocciolini di Chivasso

Nocciolini di Chivasso hazelnut biscuits: the originals, in the characteristic red packet and made exclusively with Piedmont IGP hazelnuts! According to tradition, at the beginning of the 18th century a confectioner called Giovanni Podio created these astonishingly good biscuits by skillfully blending just three ingredients - Piedmont hazelnuts, sugar and egg white. Nocciolini di Chivasso hazelnut biscuits, originally called 'Noasetti', were then made even more famous by master confectioners E. Nazzaro and L. Bonfante. It was Nazzaro who went to the Kingdom of Italy's ministry of trade in 1904 to register the brand name 'Noasett'. Luigi Bonfante, for his part, helped to spread the fame of Nocciolini biscuits throughout the country, choosing the red packet that remains a feature to this day.
