Tempo di Nocciole is a family-run farm from the rolling hills of Alta Langa in Piedmont, based in the Cravanzana area. Here, hazelnuts are not just a raw material. They are a long-standing tradition and a daily craft, passed down from generation to generation, with a clear purpose: to preserve the identity of the place and to bring out the purest, most authentic expression of the nut.

Tempo di Nocciole’s identity is clear and unwavering: the Alta Langa climate, the hilly landscape, and local know-how shape the hazelnut’s profile in much the same way a vineyard shapes a wine. This origin is not a backdrop. It is the foundation of flavour and the main reason their hazelnuts carry such a distinctive, refined aromatic purity.
A variety that defines the style
The heart of the farm is the highly regarded ‘Tonda Gentile delle Langhe’ variety. It is chosen not for its name, but for its character: an elegant aroma, a gentle sweetness, and a texture that works equally well enjoyed on its own or used in fine pastry and gastronomy.
Philosophy: naturalness without tricks
Tempo di Nocciole’s philosophy follows a simple yet demanding principle: the raw ingredient should speak for itself. That is why they emphasise naturalness and respect for the land, and approach each harvest with patience, precision, and a clean sense of taste. For this producer, what matters is not “wow effect”, but authenticity and consistency in quality.
Artisanal work from orchard to product
Their approach covers the entire journey: from caring for the hazelnut trees to preparing the final product. Details matter here—selection of the harvest, handling, and the precision of roasting or milling. It is a slow, thoughtful process in which quality is built not through promises, but through concrete choices.
The essence of Tempo di Nocciole
This producer embodies Piedmont’s taste culture: less noise, more precision. Tempo di Nocciole products are born from place, tradition, and quiet craftsmanship.
