Nuts

Papa dei Boschi

Piedmont PGI hazelnuts from the Alta Langa, grown by the Noè family

Papa dei Boschi is the farm of the Noè family in Lequio Berria, a small village in the Alta Langa south of Alba. The land has belonged to the family for generations, and hazelnuts are part of the identity of these hills.

All the groves are certified Nocciola Piemonte PGI, and every step happens on the farm. Shelling and peeling is careful manual work, done to order by José Noè himself just before roasting, so the hazelnuts reach the table at their freshest.

The result is a hazelnut with an intense, clean flavor and no bitterness, a favorite of artisan pastry chefs and gelato makers, and wonderful on its own.
