The roots of these hazelnuts are buried in the extinct volcanoes of the Cimini Mountains

To understand the extraordinary quality of these hazelnuts we must go back to hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the Cimino volcano and Vicano volcano shaped the entire landscape of Upper Lazio with their eruptions. The volcanic ash, sedimented over the millennia, gave rise to soils extraordinarily rich in potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and rare trace elements, perfectly drained and perfect for growing hazelnuts. It is in this geological niche, unique in the world, that the Tonda Gentile Romana It has found its ideal habitat, developing that characteristic crunchy pulp and toasted almond and cocoa aroma that have made it famous. Light salting, an ancient preservative practice in the Mediterranean tradition, only enhances the fruit's natural sweetness through the classic gastronomic mechanism of contrast.
