The birth of gianduiotto, the most delicious gold ingot
But where does the curious name “gianduiotto” come from? Its fame as a chocolate obviously precedes it, yet we need to take a look at history of Turin gastronomy to reconstruct their origins. It is said that in 1865, during the Carnival celebrations, the Turin masked Gianduja distributed these small golden petites prepared only with cocoa butter, sugar, cocoa, toasted and ground hazelnuts through the streets of the city. The delicious chocolates conquered everyone's palate and soon became rightfully among the best delights of the Turin tradition, so much so that its fame has now gone beyond borders.
And now, thanks to the new and tasty variants proposed by Venchi (such as the “dark” variant that combines dark chocolate with hazelnuts), there will be no more excuses for not being tempted, alone or in good company. So come forward and savor the goodness of a gianduiotto produced according to the artisanal method!
