Gianduja - Hazelnut Milk Chocolate

Noel Gianduja is a luxurious blend of milk chocolate and finely ground hazelnuts, offering a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture and perfectly balanced flavor. With its rich, creamy consistency and harmonious mix of nutty and cocoa notes, this premium gianduja paste is ideal for pastry chefs, chocolatiers, and dessert artisans alike. Use it to create mousses, truffle fillings, ganache centers, pralines, or decadent spreads. Its silky texture also makes it a dream ingredient for ice creams and gelato, where it adds depth, sweetness, and a velvety finish.

Gianduja, pronounced zhahn-DOO-yuh, has its origins in 19th-century Italy, when cocoa was scarce and expensive. A resourceful chocolatier from Turin extended his chocolate by adding locally grown hazelnuts, creating a luscious paste that would go on to inspire Nutella and countless other chocolate-hazelnut confections. Today, Cacao Noël continues that tradition with expert craftsmanship, sourcing the finest ingredients to produce gianduja that’s both authentic and remarkably versatile.
