Context and preparation

Canzo is a town in the mountainous Lombardy region, which draws tourists with its mountains, lake, fairs, history, and also for festivities related to Saint Mir, a native of this town. All the surroundings of Canzo have a mainly deciduous vegetation, and hazel is the most common species of tree.

In order to satisfy tourists’ demands, the confectioners of Canzo created Nocciolini di Canzo, made from hazelnut flour (local hazelnuts and sugar) and egg white. The appearance of this sweet is a small half-sphere. They are usually eaten as a snack but, for due to their small size, they can also be used as cake decoration.
