Ape Nocciola farm

Located in Piedmont, in a small town on the hills of the Po who enjoys a favorable microclimate to the cultivation of the Tonda Gentile trilobata IGP hazelnut, the Apenocciola farm is a small reality a family run which follows the method of biodynamic cultivation with a particular attention to biodiversity. The company was born from the passion of its owner Giulio Moiraghi who together with his wife Daisy decided in 2014 to take over and renovate a historic hazelnut grove with 50/60 years of age.

A great love for Nature, respecting its rhythms and needs, without copper (allowed in the biological specification). Only biodynamic preparations are used in order to protect the fertility and vitality of the earth which is monitored with the techniques of sensitive crystallization and circular chromatography.

The hazelnut grove where bees also thrive. It is the only hazelnut grove where, in addition to hazelnuts, we find legumes, cruciferous plants, pasture plants in order to compensate for the exploitation of the land increasing biodiversity . And in fact the bees forage during the spring / summer by collecting some honeydew from the hazelnut plants and the nectar from the flowers and other plants present. And in addition to honey they also produce a organic beeswax pure and free of any chemical residue which is then used in the production of hazelnut oil-based cosmetics.

All products are processed internally using only raw materials (hazelnuts, honey, beeswax) from the farm.
