In Campomorone, in the hinterland of Genoa's Val Verde, 20 km from the Ligurian capital, Andrea Parodi founded a major company in the late 1990s that produces oil from seeds, fruits, and berries: Parodi Nutra. In 2016, he fell in love with a very special and rare variety of hazelnut, the Misto Chiavari, purchasing four hectares of hazelnut groves in the Aveto Park, from which he produces oil and spreads under the II Parodi Gourmet brand: the classic 52% gianduja and the innovative Lacrunchy, which contains a total of 60% hazelnuts, including the paste and the grains.
