On Sundays, our shops are filled with the intoxicating aroma of freshly torched coconut meringue.

Gianduia - a blend of hazelnut and chocolate - was originally invented out of necessity in Italy in the early 1800s. As a result of Napoleon's blockade, the supply of cacao to Turin, Italy, was cut off and the thriving chocolate industry there was on the brink of collapse. In nearby Piedmont, hazelnuts were in plentiful supply and so to survive they decided to try blending hazelnuts with chocolate. The result was fantastically delicious and it remains one of the World's most popular chocolate creations to this day. Nutella was a brand of gianduia spread which was launched in 1964 and quickly shot to fame as a 'healthy' breakfast staple. February 5 is World Nutella Day and so, in honour of one of our favourite childhood spreads, we will be serving the Salted Hazelnut Chocolate Raised Donut tomorrow only. Dipped in a house-made gianduia glaze, topped with crushed hazelnuts and a sprinkling of sea salt. Available for one day only.
