Italian chocolate

confection made of chocolate and hazelnut

Gianduiotto (; ) is a chocolate originating in the Piedmont region of Italy. Gianduiotti are shaped like ingots and individually wrapped in a (usually) gold- or silver-colored foil cover. They are a specialty of Turin, and take their name from gianduja, the blend of chocolate and hazelnut used for gianduiotti and other sweets, including Nutella. This blend itself is named after Gianduja, a mask in commedia dell'arte, a type of Italian theater, that represents the Piemonte. Gianduja's tricorner hat inspired the shape of the gianduiotto.

The cremino is a chocolate originating in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is composed of three layers; the outer layers are made with gianduja chocolate, and the inner one can be made with either coffee, lemon or hazelnut paste. It is typically cubical and is sold wrapped in aluminum and a paper band which indicates the flavour.
