Let's get to know the Tozzetti delle Tuscia better

They are traditional dry pastries in the shape of a rhombus or trapezoid with a very interesting flavor.

The tozzetti differ from many other biscuits with the same shape, because they are present inside them hazelnuts of the highest quality of the Cimini Mountains.

In particular the variety "Tonda Gentile Romana”Is one of the most prized varieties in the world for its properties and is one of the main ingredients of many local desserts.

They have always been prepared in local families, but in recent years many pastry shops have begun to produce and sell them.

Throughout the Tuscia they are never lacking on refreshments tables and at parties where they are often accompanied with good local wine.

The history of Tozzetti with Hazelnuts

The birth and spread of this delicious typical product of Tuscia took place especially in the 50s when hectares and hectares of hazelnut groves began to be planted throughout Tuscia. In fact, in those years the area dedicated to the cultivation of hazelnuts increased from 1000 hectares to about 30 thousand.

Initially, the dessert was only produced exclusively by local families on the occasion of the holidays, but in recent years many pastry shops and small industries have begun to produce the tozzetti even with variations slightly different from the original recipe.
