Organic Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread Tops the Competition

Introducing Rigoni di Asiago’s Nocciolata, Hailing from Italy

Miami, Fla. – In the Altopiano di Asiago in Northern Italy (90 miles north of Venice), the Rigoni family has been keeping the long-standing traditions of organic honey and fruit spread production alive for decades. Now, they have perfected a recipe for Nocciolata (pronounced no-cholata), a delicious, better-for-you, higher-quality, better-tasting chocolate-hazelnut spread.

Made with organic ingredients completely free of GMO’s, preservatives, colors, additives, or artificial sweeteners, Rigoni di Asiago’s Nocciolata combines hazelnuts, cocoa and cocoa butter, natural vanilla extract, raw cane sugar, and skimmed milk for a chocolate-hazelnut spread with undeniably superior flavor and smooth, creamy texture.

Unlike other brands, which use palm oil (high in saturated fat and whose cultivation devastates the environment), Nocciolata is made with environmentally-responsible cold-pressed sunflower oil. It also contains far less sugar than other brands and is free from hydrogenated fats.

Each batch takes 36 hours of artisanal preparation to develop its rich and complex flavor and easy-to-spread texture. Nocciolata is perfect for snacking, a wonderful addition to breakfast spreads, an alternative to other nut butters, and is a wonderful accompaniment for breads, croissants, crepes, and fruit.

“In the 1960s, every child in Asiago dreamed of buying the finest and most delicious chocolate from Tuncali, the village pastry chef,” recalls Rigoni di Asiago C.E.O. and President Andrea Rigoni. “The memory of this artisanal treat inspired us at Rigoni di Asiago to perfect a classic indulgent chocolate-hazelnut spread….and Nocciolata was born!”

Rigoni di Asiago Nocciolata is certified USDA organic and available in stores nationwide and online in 9.52-ounce glass jars. For more information, please visit http://rigonidiasiago-usa. com and www.nocciolatausa.com
