Product Details
Description
The Gianduja e Sale Maldon chocolate bar pairs striking, contemporary design with an irresistibly smooth flavour profile. Beneath the modern wrapper lies a velvety white chocolate base blended with classic gianduja — a luxurious combination of milk chocolate and finely ground hazelnuts — finished with a delicate sprinkle of flaked Maldon salt. The result is a beautifully balanced bar that moves effortlessly between sweet, nutty richness and subtle savoury contrast.
History & Production
Inspired by the traditional Italian art of gianduja, this bar celebrates the renowned hazelnuts of Piedmont, including IGP-certified varieties prized for their intense aroma and natural sweetness. The gianduja is crafted by blending milk chocolate with finely milled hazelnuts to create a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
The addition of Maldon sea salt flakes — harvested using time-honoured methods — enhances the chocolate’s depth without overpowering it. Carefully selected ingredients, including cocoa butter, cocoa mass, whole milk powder, and natural vanilla flavour, are combined to achieve a harmonious and refined finish.
Tasting Notes
Expect a creamy, silky mouthfeel from the white chocolate and gianduja blend, delivering notes of toasted hazelnut, caramelised milk, and soft cocoa. The hazelnuts (26%) bring warmth and gentle nuttiness, while the flaked Maldon salt provides a light savoury lift that sharpens and brightens the sweetness. The finish is smooth, rounded, and delicately balanced.
Pairings
This bar pairs beautifully with espresso or cappuccino, where the roasted coffee notes complement the hazelnut richness. For something more indulgent, enjoy alongside a glass of tawny port or a nutty sherry. It also works wonderfully as part of a dessert spread, served with biscotti or fresh berries for contrast.
