110mm(width)×80mm(length)×25mm(height) This triangular shaped chocolate, gianduja, is not so familiar in Japan.
It is a chocolate from Turin, Italy.
It is said to have been created when hazelnuts, which are abundant in the region, were mixed in to compensate for the shortage of cacao due to the Napoleonic regime's control of the region.
Containing 30% hazelnut paste, “gianduja” is a smooth and aromatic chocolate.
Gianduja can be found here and there in bars, restaurants, and other places in Turin. If you are looking for a Torino souvenir, this is the one to buy.
This gianduja comes in a very cute tin with a FIAT nuova 500 printed on the case.
It's the kind of package you'd be tempted to buy. It is not only the package.
It is a gianduja from Ziccat, established in 1958 and highly evaluated for its elegant taste and aroma.
