The Di Gennaro story began in the mid-19th century in Ospedaletto d’Alpinolo, in the province of Avellino, Campania. The family began making traditional local specialities such as cupeta, roasted Avellana hazelnuts and Castagne del Prete for pilgrims travelling to the nearby Sanctuary of Montevergine. More than 160 years later, the family’s passion for traditional confectionery continues through DG3 Dolciaria, founded in 1998 by the fourth generation of the Di Gennaro family. Today, the company combines generations of confectionery expertise with modern production, creating traditional Italian torrone, chocolate and other specialities while remaining firmly rooted in the flavours and traditions of Irpinia, Campania.
