Pasticceria Jeantet
The Jeantet company has been present in the Biellese territory for more than fifty years, initially as a simple artisan patisserie and then throughout the years expanding its activities, with a bar and artisan ice cream parlour. It is a specialist in roasting coffee beans, honey retail, and above all else in the production of Canestrej and Canestrelli biscuits. The tradition of these Canestrej and Canestrelli biscuits has been rooted in the culture of biellese cuisine for more than 200 years (it is cited in Napoleonic manuscripts), and Jeantet has made this a point of strength. The Canestrej and Canestrelli are not just biscuits but unique and choice morsels whose like cannot be found elsewhere in the world. The biscuits can be found and sampled directly from Jeantet in Biella or on their site www.jeantet.it

Canestrelli Biscuits
Canestrelli of their own production - also available: classic, cinnamon and chilli pepper.
Two fragrant wafers are sandwiched together by a filling of hazelnuts, almonds, gianduja, dark chocolate and cocoa butter, mixed together wisely using the best products on the chocolate market. The taste of the filling prevails over that of the wafer.
Canestrej d’na Vira (round biscuits)
Two very fine biscuit wafers with an exquisite filling of almonds,
hazelnuts, dark chocolate and gianduja, mixed with cocoa butter, make this biscuit a true delight for the palate. The taste of the wafer prevails over that of the filling.

SCATOLIFICIO STELLA - cardboard boxes
Scatolificio Stella was founded in Crosa in 1969 with the aim to furnish the textile factories of neighbouring Vallemosso with all the packaging they needed to send off their textiles. Following various transformations, with the diversification of their products and a growth aimed towards different market areas, it became necessary to modify the production line with the addition of new, technologically advanced machinery in their head quarters at Vallemosso.
