The Product's Story
Brutti e Buoni: a story of terroir and craftsmanship
The name says it all: "ugly" in appearance, delicious in flavour. The irregular shape is not a flaw — it is the signature of craftsmanship, proof that every piece is made by hand rather than pressed by a machine.
The recipe is disarmingly simple: chopped Piedmont Hazelnut IGP, whipped egg white, sugar and flour. Four ingredients that come together in a biscuit that is crunchy outside, slightly yielding inside, with an aroma of toasted hazelnut that unfolds slowly.
It is precisely this simplicity that makes them so good: when the ingredients are of this quality, any addition would be a subtraction.
