Giuinott
The king of Gianduiotti
A winning idea
An important stage in our history is represented by the birth of Giuinott®. A small reinvented gianduiotto that contains an enormous amount of our work and was a bet from the beginning. Study, trials, errors and even the invention of new machinery. Everything to re-create 7 grams of hazelnut and cocoa sweetness. Many times gold at the International Chocolate Awards®.
From Napoleon to the IGP the stages of a success story
Like all extraordinary products, gianduiotto was also born from the need to adapt to the times. The shortage of cocoa during Napoleonic rule forced the pastry chefs and chocolatiers of the time to invent a new product, using a cocoa substitute. They chose the Piedmont hazelnut... what a substitute!! This is how gianduia was born. Used in various shapes and consistencies to give life to the gianduiotto! The king of Piedmontese chocolate, famous all over the world!
First touch
To create Giuinott we took the 150 year old giandujotto recipe and twisted it. We have changed its historical form, its weight and its degree of refinement.
The improvement
How one of the most revolutionary gianduiotti ever was born and what is behind it. The invention of a new processing method to create a perfect union between the Piedmont Hazelnut PGI and the Chuao Cocoa from Venezuela.
The Golden Kid
Our Giuinott® has been awarded for years at the International Chocolate Awards and every year it gives us so much satisfaction that repays all the testing and research work done for its creation!
Road to the IGP
Next step…PGI. Together with other famous chocolatiers from Piedmont we have started the procedure to obtain PGI recognition for Gianduiotto. It is a path that (we hope) will lead us to affirm the unique and indissoluble bond with a product so typical for the whole of Piedmont and, at the same time, recognize its uniqueness throughout the world!
