Valentine’s day is coming and Nocciolata Crème Brûlée is what I’m going to prepare for my family and friends for celebrating the “sweetest” day of the year.

Crème Brûlée is a French dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a layer of caramelized sugar. I flavored this scrumptious dessert with Nocciolata, the delicious all-natural hazelnut spread made by Rigoni di Asiago.

Rigoni di Asiago is a family-owned company from Italy that produces delicious 100% organic jam, honey and chocolate spreads. I love and trust their products since forever and for that reason I’m thrilled to announce my very first Giveaway courtesy of Rigoni di Asiago USA. #giveaway #prize #rigonidiasiago
