Monviso hazelnut flour

The company "AgriGeuna" grows, amid unspoiled nature, the Monviso hazelnut, following the organic method, available depending on the season; this is where the Monviso hazelnut flour is born. The Monviso Hazelnut the prized "Nocciola del Monviso" belongs to the Nocciola Gentile Trilobata variety and grows at the foot of Monviso, at the crossing point between plain and mountain, thus enjoying a very mild microclimate, which allows the formation of large, crunchy and tasty hazelnuts. The fruit of the hazel tree (Corylus Avellana) is a plant native to Asia Minor and typical of the Mediterranean. It grows wild in the woods and has been cultivated since ancient times. Italy is the second largest producing country in the world, after Turkey. The main premium varieties produced are the "Tonda Gentile delle Langhe and the "Tonda di Giffoni" from Campania. The company grows them using the organic method and offers them, depending on the season, fresh, shelled or as flour. Vacuum-packed to preserve all their fragrance.
