The history of Gianduja cream

Gianduja cream has Italian origins and was invented in 1800 in Turin . It was initially created as an alternative to chocolate, as the city was experiencing economic difficulties and hazelnuts were more abundant. Gianduja cream was produced with chocolate, hazelnuts and icing sugar. The original recipe called for the use of toasted and ground hazelnuts, which were then mixed with melted chocolate. In subsequent years, the recipe was modified, but the unique flavor of Gianduja cream remained almost the same, thanks to the presence of hazelnuts.
