The properties of Tuscia hazelnuts: gentle, in name and in fact

It is often thought that Piedmont is the only region dedicated to the production of hazelnuts. In reality, Tuscia is an area with a unique microclimate which has a great influence on the properties of the hazelnuts grown here.

In fact, thanks to its soils of volcanic origin and the influences of the climate of the Cimini Mountains, it boasts as much as 40% of the entire national production.

The area where we created the Serangeli Agricultural Company is one of the cradles of hazelnut production in Italy. In fact, different varieties of hazelnuts are produced here: the Tonda Gentile Romano, the Tonda di Giffoni and the Nocchione.

In our agricultural company we have been taking care of our hazelnut groves at the foot of Monte Cimino for more than 70 years. Here we dedicate ourselves to the exclusive organic cultivation of the Gentile Romana hazelnut .

How can you preserve the properties of hazelnuts?

The Nocciola Gentile Romana has a lower fat content than all other varieties and, for this reason, it is also preferred by large confectionery productions. Store it in a dry and cool place, away from direct light and heat sources.

How to taste hazelnuts?

Thanks to their distinctive but not too intense flavour, you can enjoy them as a snack, fresh or toasted, freshly shelled whole or in grains. However, the Nocciola Gentile Romana also lends itself to the creativity of the most imaginative culinary minds. It is in fact the ideal basic ingredient for spreads, pralines or baked desserts, such as cakes and biscuits. It will also amaze you as an ingredient in lesser-known recipes. Try them as pesto in your first courses or as a base to make accompanying sauces or fillings for your meat second courses.
