There's chocolate, and then there's gianduiotto chocolate. An ancestor of Nutella, the melt-in-the-mouth treat is as rare as it is delicious.
Its birthplace is the region's capital, Turin, which has been known as Italy's"chocolate capital" ever since maître chocolatiers began making their sweet artisan delicacies for the House of Savoy, the royal dynasty established in the Savoy region of Italy, here in the 1500's.A.Giordano Torino According to revered artisan chocolatier Guido Castagna, gianduiotto is far more than just an iconic chocolate. It's a symbol of Turin, and a big part of the city's identity."It had humble origins but then became an elite, niche product of the highest quality, the first ever to be wrapped [in foil] in the history of chocolate."When Napoleon Bonaparte conquered northern Italy and declared war against Britain in 1806, he banned all English-imported goods, including cocoa beans.
A century or so later, Pietro Ferrero, a confectioner from Piedmont, created Nutella based on that old recipe.The hazelnuts used to make gianduiotto can be found growing in the Langhe region of Italy.Back in the 1800s, hazelnuts were very affordable, says Castagna, but things are very different now.
"Gianduiotto is now a specific chocolate type alongside dark, white, and milk chocolate," says Castagna. In the old days, making gianduiotti was something of a ritual. The process involved repeatedly battering the hazelnut paste to give it consistency and then kneading it as though it were pizza flour.
