Pour on the pure Piedmont flavor with this cold-pressed hazelnut oil from Guido Gobino. Made with nothing but the best Piedmontese hazelnuts (that’s Tonda Gentile Trilobata to the botanists out there) that are roasted and pressed in the Guido Gobino workshop, it’s a gorgeously fragrant testament to these very special nuts.

There’s no sweet more characteristically Piedmontese than gianduja. It was created out of necessity in the early 1800s, when Napoleon blocked all French allies—including Italy—from trading goods with the British. This restriction of British supplies included cocoa, which forced Italian chocolatiers to get a bit creative to stretch their supply. They turned to an ingredient they had in abundance: the plump, flavorful hazelnuts that grow in the Langhe mountains, just south of Turin. The chocolate masters created a spread of roughly 70% cocoa and 30% hazelnut paste, and gianduja was born! Today, Turin is famous for this delicious chocolate innovation.

In 1964, Giuseppe Gobino took his experience as a cocoa refiner to the candy business, establishing an artisan chocolate shop in Turin, the capital of the Piedmont region. Today, his son Guido carries on his legacy of excellence. Aside from the chocolate, which is carefully selected from Central and South America, every ingredient in their products is purely Italian. The raw cacao beans are roasted and processed in their own state-of-the-art facility, as are the hazelnuts they source directly from local farmers. Milk comes from Piedmontese dairy farmers, and even the sugar is from Italian beets. Every step of the chocolate-making process is managed by hand to ensure the highest quality in every bite.

With a delicate, nutty aroma, this beautiful oil shines as a finishing touch on salads, soups, fish, and shellfish. Use it in a fresh vinaigrette with citrus or red wine vinegar and serve over butter lettuce with toasted hazelnuts for an easy, elegant salad. Or, enjoy simply with toasted bread to savor the pure taste of true Piedmont hazelnuts.
