Why this supplier?

The best hazelnuts in the world grow in beautiful Piedmont.
They are prized for their intense aroma and low bitter content, making them ideal for our famous hazelnut ice cream and nougat ice cream!

We chose to work with Noccioleria – the Rapalinos are a sympathetic, down-to-earth family whose way of working fits in perfectly with our philosophy and who offer outstanding, IGP-certified quality.

The 30-hectare Azienda Agricola Rapalino was founded by the grandfather of the current owner, Saverio Rapalino. was founded.
Since 2011, the family has not only been producing hazelnuts, but also processing them directly on their own farm.
This means that the entire production process is in the family’s hands – from organic planting and drying to the various roasting processes and the gentle production of hazelnut purée.
The Rapalino family attaches great importance to closeness to nature, sustainability and tradition and relies on minimal use of chemicals and organic fertilization.
The hazelnuts are therefore not only particularly natural and environmentally friendly – they also taste incredibly good!

On their organic farm in Saalfelden, Karin and Ernst Mosshammer pay particular attention to naturalness and diversity. Nature is the best guide for animal-friendly cattle husbandry, which is why the husbandry conditions are adapted to the needs of the cows and not vice versa. The cows are allowed to keep their horns, have access to the outdoors all year round and are provided with 100% species-appropriate feed – green fodder, hay, fermented hay and alfalfa. Grass or clover silage is not used at all. The use of concentrated feed is also unnecessary, as the feed is versatile and nutritious due to the high biodiversity of the meadows. This has a positive effect on the health of the herd – in some years, the Gruberhof manages completely without medication.

By consistently increasing biodiversity in the fields, Karin and Ernst have also discovered their love of butterflies and have been creating specific habitats to promote biodiversity for years. Very rare species have returned to the Gruberhof, as well as bees, bumblebees, birds, frogs and much more. gratefully accept the offer. Animals and humans alike benefit from the increasingly intact nature on the farm. Healthy cows give us healthy and tasty milk, which we process with great pleasure into our very special ice cream in our Misssi Manufaktur.
