The origin of the name of this chocolate is an example of historic marketing. It was 1865 when a famous chocolate factory in Turin using the typical Carnival mask of Turin, Gianduja to present his new chocolate.
The composition of this typical product of Piedmont has its own history, it seems that during the Napoleonic invasion of Piedmont, there was a cocoa shortage. Unfortunately, chocolate was highly sought in Turin and Piedmont in general. It was thought to replace a portion of chocolate with hazelnuts from Piedmont.
It was thus created a unique flavor, with a strong identity of Piedmont, which can be found today even in the most famous spreadable cream Gianduia, but also in the famous Chocolate cake Gianduiotta. The common base of these recipes there is always the characteristic combination between chocolate and hazelnuts also the source of gianduitto.
The shape of gianduiotto is traditionally triangular and was the first chocolate to be packed individually.
