A smooth mixture made with hazelnuts and milk or dark chocolate. The difference between a praline filling and gianduja filling lies in the proportion of hazelnuts used in the recipe.

The milk chocolate which is added to the mixture gives the blend a pronounced refinement and an incomparably smooth character.
