In Roddino, amidst the hills of the noble Langhe, there is a small farm, Ra Nissòra (i.e. hazelnut in Piedmontese language), with about 15 hectares of hazelnut groves, a confectionery laboratory and the town of Alba not far away. Milena carries on her family's trade together with her husband Antonio and does so with pride.Hers is a family business, with dad Giorgio who helps out in the countryside and mum Antonella giving a hand in the laboratory. Milena is a young woman with so much passion for her work that it seems she can put it in all the hazelnut pastries she prepares every day. Milena is at the helm of her farming business out of love for this small fruit: the round tri-obate hazelnut. She has her strong beliefs and blessings: the love for her two children, Leonardo and Giada, and for her husband, the attention to detail that she puts into her pastry creations on a daily basis. However, she also shows a certain Piedmontese cautiousness as well as a sense of responsibility that she feels in carrying on her family business. It was her grandfather, in the post-war period, who initially started the family's bond with hazelnuts, but it was Milena who, after a diploma at the Arte Bianca and several experiences in the confectionary field, decided to step up a gear and combine her art with this small and precious fruit. That day, Ra Nissòra, a small artisanal pastry shop where hazelnut delicacies are churned out daily, was born.
