Gianduiotto is the foil-wrapped hazelnut-chocolate ingot Caffarel invented in Turin in 1865, made of cocoa, sugar and ground Tonda Gentile delle Langhe hazelnut.
The hazelnut-and-cocoa paste behind gianduiotto was born of mid-1800s cocoa scarcity in Europe. In 1865 Caffarel's Michele Prochet completely ground hazelnuts (Tonda Gentile delle Langhe) to a paste before adding them to cocoa and sugar, shaping the boat-form gianduiotto for the Turin Carnival. Gianduja, the traditional Piedmontese mask, gave its name to the chocolate. It was also the first chocolate to be individually wrapped.
