POSSIBLE TASTINGS:


 Gianduiotti - gianduiotto is a chocolate born in 1852 in Turin, shaped as ingots and incredibly creamy.Gianduiotti are individually wrapped in gold tinfoil and created with a unique mixture of Piedmont hazelnut, cocoa and sugar.


 Bicerin - It is a layered drink made of espresso, drinking chocolate, and whole milk (or heavy cream) served in a large glass. The beverage has been known since the 18th century and was also praised by Alexandre Dumas in his letters.


 Marron glacé - it is a precious confection, originating in Piedmont and consisting of a chestnut candied in sugar syrup and glazed. They were invented shortly after the crusaders returned to Europe with sugar because chestnuts were a very available ingredient in the woods of Piedmont. Marron glaceés were the favourite dessert of the royal family!


 Pinguino ice cream - in the warm season, we will taste the actual artisan gelato covered in crunchy dark chocolate. The confectionery we chose is the one were the Pinguino was first invented as a local contribution to Italian tradition in gelato-making.


  Cremino - is a chocolate originally from Piedmont, composed by three layers of chocolate, the outer ones are made with gianduia chocolate, while the inner one can be made with coffee, hazelnut paste, lemon and so much more. Its typical shape is a cube and it's wrapped in tinfoil with a band which indicates the flavour.


  Artisanal sliced chocolate - directly from a giant chocolate bar, you can choose your favourite taste among sooo many…Artisanal gelato - in a family-run gelato laboratory, you will have a look at the equipment used for the preparation of the most loved gelato by the people of Turin and, of course, taste it!
