The roots of these hazelnuts lie in Piedmontese chocolate making and European pralines.

The marriage between hazelnut and cocoa It is one of the most successful gastronomic combinations in modern European history. Already in 1851, in Turin, the chocolatier Michael Prochet had the intuition to cover toasted Piedmont hazelnuts with chocolate, creating the first dragees cocoa that would have made the fortune of the Savoy pastry shops. In the rest of Europe, especially in Belgium and Switzerland, the tradition of hazelnut pralines flourished in parallel in the second half of the nineteenth century, becoming an absolute reference in high-end chocolate making. Parano Bio's reinterpretation recovers this centuries-old heritage by replacing the Piedmontese hazelnut with its cousin from Lazio — the Tonda Gentile Romana of the Cimini Mountains — and adopting exclusively certified organic ingredients, in a completely transparent supply chain.
