Product of the Week: Whole Raw Organic Hazelnuts
May 22nd, 2007 by The Leftover Queen
If you are going to make a recipe of Gelato alla Nocciola, you are going to need this essential ingredient: Whole Raw Oregon Hazelnuts
Since hazelnuts are the cornerstone to this recipe and it is the essence of this nut that you are trying to achieve in a gelato flavor, it is important to get the best hazelnuts you can find. Organic nuts are the way to go – they are not processed using any kind of chemical and they taste most true to form. You do yourself and your mouth and your end product a dis-service not to get the best!

Beautiful hazelnuts. That gelato sounds authentic and delicious – had some in Rome a few years ago. Marvellous stuff.

I love Hazelnuts !
…and you gave me an idea : something to go to buy immediately !
One suggestion?
“AFFOGATO ALLA NOCCIOLA E CIOCCOLATO”
Roast them in the owen untill brown, crush them, mix with chocolate (before you have to bring dark chocolate at 140°F and mix untill liquid).
Put on top of your gelato and start to dream.
