Cascina Bosco Maggiore

In Alba, along Piedmont's hazelnut belt, Cascina Bosco Maggiore cultivates Tonda Gentile Trilobata, the cultivar that gives body to Nocciola del Piemonte IGP. It is recognized by its sub-spherical shape and easily detachable skin, two characteristics that make it highly sought after in pastry-making and demand precise discipline from soil to harvest. The estate operates within a consolidated regional system, where hazelnut quality depends on the synergy between soil and technique rather than a single stroke of seasonal luck. Focusing on a single IGP here means accepting that consistency is the true measure: caliber, flavor, and yield must be replicated year after year, as it is on this reliability that confectionery processors build their recipes. Cultivation tolerates no improvisation—every phase, from pruning to drying, impacts the final result. In this sense, Bosco Maggiore is less a company aiming for immediate impact and more a supplier of raw material measured by the regularity of its product.
