| | extra-torino :: The guide of Torino |
 | | It is the story of “gianduia” and its most famous “offspring,” gianduiotti chocolates, a mixture of Tonda Gentile delle Langhe hazelnuts and cocoa. |
 | | This is the legendary creation of Michele Prochet and the pastry chefs of Torino, who were the first to combine the two ingredients during Carnival season: hence the name, which is in honor of Gianduia, the typical carnival character in Torino. |
 | | This combination of cocoa and toasted hazelnuts revolutionized consumers’ tastes and marked an important moment in the production of sweets, first on an artisanal level and later industrially, as is witnessed by the history of famous chocolatiers: Baratti & Milano, Caffarel, Peyrano, G. Pfatisch, Novi, Streglio, and Stratta. |
