Giuinott
The king of Gianduiotti
A winning idea
An important milestone in our history is represented by the birth of Giuinott®. A small reinvented gianduiotto that contains a huge amount of our work and has been a gamble from the beginning. The study, the trials, the errors and even the invention of new machinery. All to re-create 7 grams of sweetness of hazelnuts and cocoa. Many times gold at the International Chocolate Awards®.
From Napoleon to 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 Napoleon's rule forced pastry chefs and chocolatiers of the time to invent a new product, using a substitute for cocoa. They chose Piedmont Hazelnut... what a substitute!! This is how gianduia was born. Used in various shapes and consistencies until it gave birth to gianduiotto! The king of Piedmontese chocolate, famous throughout the world!
First touch
To create Giuinott we took the 150-year-old giandujotto recipe and turned it upside down. We changed its historic shape, its weight and its degree of refinement.
The improvement
How it was born and what is behind one of the most revolutionary gianduiotti ever. The invention of a new processing method to create a perfect union between the Piedmont PGI Hazelnut 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…IGP. Together with other famous chocolatiers of Piedmont we have started the procedure to obtain the IGP 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 all of Piedmont and, at the same time, recognize its uniqueness throughout the world!
