As always, more than ever

Una tradizione che si rinnova con successo

Today Turin and the surrounding area figure as the leaders in Italy for chocolate production, with an output of 85,000 tons, equal to 40% of the total.

What are the ingredients of this success? Professionalism, competence, and respect for a tradition that put down deep roots in 18th-century Turin, developed during the 19th century, and witnessed the emergence of important companies in the regional capital and throughout Piedmont: from Streglio to Ferrero, from Talmone to Novi, from Venchi to Pernigotti.

These prestigious industrial firms are complemented by those of the artisans: Master chocolate chefs who create and innovate while conserving the best of the past. With passion, dedication, and above all, impeccable taste.
