Corilu Società Cooperativa Agricola

Lu is a small town of just over a thousand inhabitants in the heart of Monferrato. These hills, along with Langhe and Roero, always a cradle of products of excellence, have recently been declared UNESCO heritage. In 1998 a group of farmers who have always been friends in life and collaborators in the work of the fields, decided to convert all his own land into hazelnuts. The aim was to continue the long tradition of the cultivation of the hazel, very ancient, as demonstrated by the discovery of documents noticting them which referred to at the end of 1500. LU, with its rolling hills and the sunny climate, represents the ideal territory For this cultivation. From this combination of resources, strongly believing in a project for our absolutely innovative and cutting-edge territories, in 2005 he takes life Corilu, a agricultural cooperative society. Corilu today you can define an increasingly important reality for the cultivation and production of the Piedmont Piemonte IGP. At the base of the success of the cooperative, in addition to a highly specialized work group, there is the use of state-of-the-art machinery and technologies and constantly updated. The cooperative directly cultivates about 80 hectares of hocciolites all included in a radius of about 10 km from the company, starting from the first plants of about 30 years, inherited from the founders of the cooperative, up to the last recently moved. All the production is under the strict discipline of the consortium for the protection and enhancement of the Piedmont Piemonte IGP. In 2015 Corilu, given the care and dedication of the shareholders in the cultivation and harvest harvesting, decided to undertake a new journey: in the new laboratories all the semi-finished hazelnuts are produced. The toasted hazelnuts are the flagship product of our production: they are gently toasted in special ovens in order to enhance the aroma and taste of what is universally recognized as the most good hazelnut variety in the world. Starting from the toasted hazelnuts, pasta, flour and grain is produced, particularly used in ice cream parlor and pastry shop. We also produce three types of spreadable creams, all obtained exclusively from Piedmont Piemonte IGP and without any other added grease.
