Nocciolata

Mario and Paolo Rigoni began collecting savory honey from the meadows of Asiago, Italy, 90 years ago. People the world over have since enjoyed their collection of gourmet products to include fruit spreads and jams. The Rigoni family sweet tooth has continued to expand and in 2006 they introduced Nocciolata.

Nocciolata is a delectable chocolate and hazelnut spread made of only certified organic ingredients and is made according to the Rigoni family original recipe. It uses only the finest dark chocolate from the Antillean Islands, Italian hazelnuts, brown sugar, skim milk, and Bourbon vanilla extract to create a delicious chocolate spread the whole family will enjoy.

You can enjoy Nocciolata at any time of day. Spread on a piece of toast for a savory breakfast or for a delicious afternoon snack. It makes an excellent frosting and filling, too, for your cakes, crepes, cookies, muffins, and more!
