THE VALUES



Naturalness: Theri agriculture is sustainable, to preserve soil health, water quality, biodiversity and ecological balance, without compromising food safety and product quality. This is achieved using cultivation techniques that reduce the environmental impact such as manual processing, cutting the grass between the rows or using biological traps. All these are gestures that enhance the ecosystem of our hazelnut grove.
Craftsmanship: Their products are handmade in small quantities and following ancient recipes.
They start from high quality raw material to create sweet cuddles with a taste of the past that makes them unique.
Sustainability: They use a type of packaging that aims to reduce the negative environmental impact through recyclable and biodegradable materials, minimizing the use of plastic. For them it is important to safeguard the environment with sustainable packaging, guaranteeing a green future.


In November 2013 they planted 400 Tonda Gentile Trilobata hazelnut trees from Piedmont and, after the first few years necessary for the plants to adapt to this environment, they reached the tenth year, when the hazelnut grove entered production.

The hazelnut grove is dedicated to the little Greta who, looking from up there, makes this place so magical… It was born
“GRETA'S HAZELNUTS”.
In the summer of 2018 they collected the first fruits of nature and with them we made 500 packs of Greta's spreadable cream and 200 packs of Baci di Greta, appreciated right away.


It is in the spring of 2022, with the creation of our artisan laboratory, that their hazelnut begins to play with chocolate, a combination of exceptional taste that sees the encounter between hazelnut and high quality artisan chocolate.
Their handcrafted toasted hazelnuts covered in chocolate are born, which they call Le Nosette because fascinated by the reading of ancient documents of the castle of Bascapé which narrate the existence in the park of the castle of a garden called "le nosette" where since ancient times hazelnuts were grown hazelnuts .


All their hazelnuts are Made in Italy. Their hazelnut grove is in fact made up of 400 Tonda Gentile Trilobata hazelnut trees from Piedmont.


Thanks to their own production, they guarantee that the products are part of a short and controlled supply chain using 0 km products.
