Falcone Gianduia Cookie – Melting Chocolate Hazelnut Heart

A cookie with a gianduia heart for your morning coffee

You want a cookie that keeps your coffee company, not a dry crumb. This cookie hides a melting chocolate-hazelnut heart: you bite into it, it gives way, and the morning break takes on the air of a snack. It also works at four o'clock, after school, with a glass of milk.

What you will taste

• Texture: slightly crunchy outside, silky and melting heart.
• Aromas: toasted hazelnut and milky cocoa.
• Taste: round and bittersweet, the chocolate balanced by the hazelnut.

How to use it

• In the morning, with a ristretto or a cappuccino.
• At snack time, with hot milk.
• A few seconds in the microwave to wake up the melting heart.

Where it comes from

Gianduia, a blend of chocolate and hazelnut, comes from the Piedmontese tradition. Falcone, a family confectionery from Abruzzo based near Pescara since 1997, slipped it into the heart of this cookie, under a slightly crunchy dough.
