Mortarella
The Mortarella hazelnut from Campania has a medium-small size and is characterized by fruits that are also non-uniform and small. The shape is slightly elongated, sub-cylindrical and laterally compressed, it is distinguished by the easily detachable perisperm (the inner film). The shell is quite thin, light brown in colour, with slight streaks of a more intense color and slightly flattened in the lower part. The pulp is aromatic, firm, ivory-white in colour; of fine flavor, when toasted it refers to hints of bread crust and caramel.
Mortarella is cultivated in almost all the hazelnut-growing areas of Campania (with the exception of the Giffonese area) due to its valuable characteristics of suitability for transformation. The municipalities in the province of Avellino that fall within the production area are: Mercogliano, Monteforte Irpino, Mugnano del Cardinale, Ospadaletto d'Alpinolo, Quindici, Sirignano, Summonte, Taurano.

Characteristics: the product is characterized by its crunchiness, a characteristic which is maintained over time, if the product is kept closed in its original packaging in a cool and dry place. It finds multiple uses both in ice cream (for example for the "Bacio" and Hazelnut flavors, etc.) and in artisan pastry (in cakes, frozen desserts, mousses, etc.).
