Tips and curiosities of the tomolo
Hazelnuts are not just a modern delicacy, they have been part of the human diet for thousands of years. Archaeological remains from European sites have shown that ancient hunter-gatherers regularly consumed hazelnuts. In particular, large quantities of charred hazelnut shells have been found at an archaeological site in Scotland dated to around 8,000 years ago. These findings suggest that hazelnuts were a staple food for prehistoric populations in the region, probably due to their high energy density and healthy fat content.

The secrets of making hazelnut and truffle pesto
Making hazelnut and truffle pesto is a process that requires great precision and attention to detail. First and foremost, it is essential to select high quality hazelnuts and fresh truffles to ensure an intense and authentic flavour in the final product. Once harvested, the hazelnuts are roasted to enhance their aroma and then ground to achieve a creamy consistency. As for the truffles, they are thoroughly cleaned and finely chopped to distribute their distinctive flavour evenly throughout the pesto. During the production process, it is important to avoid the use of preservatives and additives in order to preserve the natural flavours of the ingredients. This artisanal method allows the production of a high quality hazelnut and truffle pesto that can be used to enrich many dishes, from pasta to meat.
