Brigantina by Borgo de Medici is a classic Italian hazelnut cream spread with a profound history. The nutty cream of the finest hazelnuts is mixed with aromatic cocoa butter to deliver a one-of-a-kind gianduja spread!
Gianduja is a traditional Italian spread born in the first half of the 19th century in Turin. The cocoa deficit caused by the Continental Blockade was a pressing challenge for Italian confectioners, and a chocolatier in Turin named Michele Prochet decided to take matters into his own hands. He created one of the first chocolate spreads by substituting 30% cocoa with hazelnuts paste! Now, gianduja can be used for making the most tempting chocolate bars, too.
