Certified Organic Rigoni di Asiago’s Organic Nocciolata Chocolate Hazelnut Spread is Super Tasty

Some hazelnut spreads contain palm oil, but instead of palm oil, Rigoni di Asiago’s organic Nocciolata chocolate hazelnut spread is made with the healthier and environmentally-responsible cold-pressed sunflower oil. The product maintains an undeniably superior flavor and smooth, creamy, easy-to-spread texture.

Made with organic ingredients completely free of GMO's, preservatives, colors, additives, or artificial sweeteners, Nocciolata combines hazelnuts, cocoa and cocoa butter, natural vanilla extract, raw cane sugar, and skimmed milk for a chocolate-hazelnut spread. 

It also contains far less sugar than other brands and is free from hydrogenated fats. Rigoni di Asiago even released a certified vegan, dairy free version, Nocciolata Dairy Free.

Rigoni di Asiago is a family-owned and operated business based in the Altopiano di Asiago, a mountain plateau in Northern Italy. Committed to sourcing the finest ingredients, their certified organic products include Fiordifrutta fruit spread (the leading brand in Italy), Nocciolata hazelnut and chocolate spread, Dolcedì natural sweetener and Mielbio, honey from the best production areas of Italy.
The company was one of the first in Europe to turn to organic farming in the early 1990s and merit the Certified Organic label.

Tim’s Cascade Snacks, producer of Tim’s® Cascade Style Potato Chips, Hawaiian® Kettle Style Potato Chips and Erin’s® Popcorn  is offering Special Batches of Potato Chip flavors from the past and new flavors for the future.

These new limited edition flavors will be in stores for a limited time and will launch a new tradition.  Every year, Tim’s Cascade Snacks will now offer Special Batch items for Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips and Tim’s Cascade Style Potato Chips with unique flavor trends. 

These new limited edition snacks start with premium potatoes direct from local family owned farms in the Great Pacific Northwest. By using the finest blends of real seasonings and spices, we guarantee you won’t be able to stop the Crunch!

In honor of their three decades of crowd pleasing flavors and following on the heels of their extremely popular first 2 Special Batch flavors in Spring 2016,  Island Lemon and Coney Island, Tim’s Cascade Snacks is launching two more new Special Batch flavors: Big & Bold Buffalo Blue and Hulapeno Chips.

Tim’s Big & Bold Buffalo Blue Chips are the perfect combination of the tangy heat of buffalo wings paired with the creaminess of blue cheese, which makes this the ultimate game day favorite snack. These chips are Gluten free and made with no preservatives or artificial flavors. Big & Bold Buffalo Blue Chips are the third release of Tim’s Cascade Snacks Special Batches, and will be in stores for a limited time.

Hulapeno is the fourth Special Batch release from Tim’s Cascade Snacks, and offers that perfect balance of intense flavor with a spicy bite of jalapeño peppers, with just the right amount of heat. With 78 percent of consumers saying they enjoy moderately spicy foods, Hulapeno Chips are sure to be a popular item, and since they are a Special Edition flavor will only be in stores for a limited time. Additionally, Hulapeno Chips are Gluten free with no preservative or artificial flavors.

For over three decades, Tim’s Cascade Snacks has stayed true to its mission. Just like when they started in 1986, Tim’s still supports local farms and businesses, many of whom started out with the company from its inception, 30 years ago. 

Additionally, Tim’s has supported the sustainable movement well before it was the thing to do. The Association of Washington business announced Tim’s Cascade Chips as the recipient of their Environmental Excellence Award of the Decade.
