Organic extra-virgin olive oil from the Sabine Hills northeast of Rome lends a lustrous, glossy sheen and has a cleaner taste than the heavy palm oil that other brands use; it also gives the dessert pastes a luscious consistency that is far superior to cloying Nutella.
They don't taste noticeably of olive oil, either; rather, the fruity notes enhance those same qualities in the chocolate, and the spread is rounded out with floral-scented vanilla. Choose between smooth Noccioliva or crunchy Granellona Brut, which has chopped hazelnut pieces but is still silky and spreadable.
