Hazelnut Cream - Gioia Fondente

The Gioia Fondente Hazelnut Cream, made by Azienda Agricola Grimaldi, is made with the âTonda di Giffoniâ hazelnut cultivar, characterised by the perfectly round shape of the seed (the shelled hazelnut), which has a white, firm flesh with an aromatic flavour, covered by a thin, easily removable brown skin (perisperm). Grimaldi produces its hazelnuts without the use of fungicides, herbicides or synthetic additives. The soils are fertilised with organic substances and irrigated with uncontaminated spring water; they are also fitted with nets that ensure the fruits remain completely intact, preventing contact with the soil. Drying takes place in the sun on metal racks that guarantee adequate ventilation. Finally, the product is hand-packaged without the use of additives or preservatives. Eating hazelnuts helps protect against arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, thanks to a concentration of reserve substances (lipids) rich in monounsaturated fats, such as oleic acid, which strongly helps to limit blood cholesterol levels. Not only that: the Gioia Fondente hazelnut cream made with âTonda di Giffoniâ hazelnuts contains vitamins E, B and C, as well as minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium and selenium, all essential for the proper functioning of the cellular system. In addition, its good potassium content makes hazelnuts particularly suitable for the diet of pregnant women. The purity of Grimaldi hazelnuts combined with the goodness of dark chocolate creates an authentic taste, a refined and nourishing guilty pleasure, with 50% "Tonda di Giffoni" hazelnuts and fine Valrhona cocoa. A new emotion, a joy to be savoured to the full. Gioia hazelnut cream is exactly that: emotion, sweetness, innocence and everyday delight.
