CHOCOLATE ARTISTRY FROM 1878


OUR STORY

We began a long time ago, in 1878 in fact, with Silviano Venchi, a 20-year-old from Turin who loved chocolate so much he spent all his savings on two bronze cauldrons and began to experiment, first in his apartment, then in a small place on Via degli Artisti in Borgo Vaniglia, Turin.

These experiments were so successful that after some years came Nougatine, a sweet with Piedmont hazelnuts, chopped, caramelised and coated in extra-dark chocolate (we recommend rereading this history while sampling some) and Venchi Spa, “the most elegant chocolate shop in Piedmont” named among other things “Purveyor to the Royal Household”.

Today, there is no longer the royal coat of arms on the packaging, but the passion, meticulous care and courage to experiment remain. And so it was that all of our imaginatively named chocolates were created: our Chocaviar, Truffles, Gianduiotti, Cremini, bars, Suprema spread, Gelato and Gourmet eggs.

All delicious, healthy, natural, made with the best ingredients and the best intentions: to look on the bright side and to live a long happy life that, if nothing else, is a little bit sweeter.

THE ICONS

GIANDUJOTTO: An intense encounter between hazelnut and chocolate.
The Venchi Giandujotto 1878 is the epitome of Piedmontese tradition, owing its extraordinary taste to 32% Piedmont Hazelnuts.

CREMINO: A burst of flavour in every layer!
A perfectly square shape, with three layers. The Venchi Cremino expresses its heritage in full, together with creative innovation in perfect Italian style.

NOUGATINE: Nougatine and the dream of new worlds.
With a recipe that has not changed since 1905, chopped and caramelised Piedmont Hazelnuts are wrapped in a layer of pure dark chocolate.

CHOCAVIAR: Delicious little granules of cocoa with a powerful and sophisticated taste.
A crisp Cuor di Cacao shell coated with Chocaviar 75% granules encases the softness of the cocoa centre.
