Nuance Chocolate

Featuring The Gianduja Experiment Melting Point Paradox

This month, we’re exploring the counterintuitive food science behind a traditional Italian delicacy! Stop by and taste our newest factory experiment: a rich, velvety Gianduja spread made of 50% roasted hazelnuts and 50% single-origin dark chocolate.

Historically born out of a cacao shortage in the 1800s, this recipe showcases a fascinating chemical reaction. When liquid hazelnut oils combine with solid cocoa butter, they create a eutectic system. The different fat molecules physically interfere with each other, dropping the overall melting point lower than the individual ingredients. By refining the nuts and beans together in our stone melangers to a microscopic texture under 20 microns, we unlock a completely smooth fat emulsion that stays velvety and spoonable at room temperature.

Stop by, grab a sample, and give us your feedback as we decide if this is a recipe we permanently love!
