GOLD AWARD for 2014 LA CHOCOLATE SALON BEST MILK CHOCOLATE

TWO FLAVOR OPTIONS: 42% Milk Bar or 63% Dark Bar (Vegan Option)

Possibly no other area in Italy emphasizes the dedication to simplicity and quality of ingredients as does the alpine region of Piemonte, or Piedmont. Piedmont is the home of Reggiano Parmigiano cheese, Prosciuitto di Parma and of course the rare white truffle as well as some of Italy’s best wines such as Barolo and Barbera.

The traditional Nocciole Bar (to be found throughout Italy) takes its inspiration from this simplicity and dedication to quality. Roasted Piedmont Hazelnuts I.G.P, considered the best in the world, plus Sicilian sea salt are sprinkled on a bar of creamy rich 42% milk or 63% dark chocolate crafted from only the finest Dominican Republic single bean origin cocoa beans. Pair this bar with some sliced pear and a wedge pungent gorgonzola (another famous Piedmont export) for the perfect finish to a traditional Italian meal.

63% Dark Flavor (Vegan Option): Allergens: Tree Nuts (hazelnuts) and Sunflower (as an emulsifier in chocolate); single bar is 7” long x 3” wide
