Turin Gianduiotto in Turin

The gianduiotto is one of Turin’s most iconic chocolates, recognizable by its upside-down boat shape and its gold or silver wrapper. It is made from a blend of cocoa, sugar, and finely ground Piedmont hazelnuts, which give it a soft texture and a particularly rounded flavor. It melts easily in the mouth and has a warm, toasted aromatic profile. Traditionally it is sold individually wrapped or in elegant gift boxes in Turin’s chocolate shops.
