Our method
No palm oil, no artificial flavourings, no rushing. Just real raw ingredients, and the time it takes.
Our roots
Four generations,
a single land
In the green heart of Avella, where the Corylus Avellana takes its name, the Maietta family has grown hazelnuts since 1940. A dream born in the countryside, carried on from father to son with the same unwavering care.
Today, in a workshop within the farm itself, every hazelnut is selected, roasted and crafted just a few metres from where it grew. A single hand, from grove to jar.
Our philosophy
Delicious, wholesome,
natural
Every Noccioro product begins with a simple principle: respect the raw ingredient and let quality speak for itself. No shortcuts, no compromises.
Delicious
The unmistakable taste of the Avellana hazelnut, grown in the land that gave it its name.
Wholesome
No palm oil, no artificial flavourings, no preservatives. Real raw ingredients, crafted with respect.
Natural
From plant to jar, every step stays in our hands: the groves we tend and our own workshop.
