Destefanis Nocciole

Our hazelnuts come exclusively from the hills of Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, in the heart of Piedmont. We work solely with the Tonda Gentile Trilobata variety, selected over the centuries for its extraordinary organoleptic qualities and unique aroma.

Classification takes place at the time of delivery: we take a sample from each load, analyze moisture content and quality, and cut open 100 hazelnuts to determine the quality grade. “First choice” represents the best of the harvest, offering higher yields and superior organoleptic characteristics.
