Gianduja is one of the great Italian confectionery traditions — a marriage of chocolate and finely ground roasted hazelnuts that produces something richer, smoother, and more deeply satisfying than either ingredient alone. Valrhona's Milk Gianduja Hazelnut 35% is a masterclass in the form: premium milk chocolate blended with the finest roasted hazelnuts to create a paste of extraordinary silkiness and depth.
At 35% milk chocolate, the balance is exactly right — the warm, creamy sweetness of milk chocolate and the rich, toasted intensity of hazelnut in perfect harmony. It melts on the tongue with a smoothness that is immediately luxurious, and its flavour is bold enough to hold its own in any application while remaining effortlessly versatile. Supplied as a 3kg block, it is the professional format for those who use gianduja seriously.
