Artisan

Nino Marino and Vincenzo Longhitano were only 20 years old when they founded their confectionery business in the Sicilian town of Bronte. Fifteen years later, their sweets and spreads are still made by hand, with local ingredients such as a hazelnut variety from the Nebrodi Mountains, following traditional methods.

Origin

Bronte, Sicily, Italy.

History and anecdotes

Chocolate-hazelnut spreads are believed to have been inspired by gianduia, a chocolate and hazelnut paste invented in Turin, Italy, in the 19th century. Since the blockade ordered by Napoleon I against the United Kingdom led to an increase in the price of cocoa, Turin confectioners had the idea to blend it with finely ground hazelnuts.
