San Giovanni

B tier

San Giovanni is an Italian hazelnut cultivar name found in southern and broader Italian orchard lists, producing kernels with classic sweet, aromatic character when roasted with care. Fresh stock suits pastry, snacks, and confectionery; stale stock smells of paint and should be discarded. The name supports Italian origin storytelling for buyers who track cultivars. Pale roast, optional skin rub, freeze surplus. Major tree-nut allergen handling applies. Compared with Tonda Gentile prestige lines, San Giovanni is a working Italian type rather than a single global luxury brand. Use in cakes, cookies, and chocolate inclusions. Taste a handful before large paste batches.
