Nowhere on Earth produces hazelnuts quite like Piedmont, Italy. These chunky beauties are roasted and salted, then combined with salted almonds and pistachios, and finally dropped into the creamiest white chocolate. The juxtaposition of sweet and savoury is a thrill ride for the senses and the perfect excuse for a bit of ‘you time’. Silviano Venchi started to make chocolate at the tender age of sixteen back in the 1800s. His little shop in the city of Cuneo in Piedmont became renowned for the chocolate jewels he created using only the highest quality ingredients. The Venchi company was officially founded in 1878 and is now adored in 70 countries around the world, from London to Hong Kong and from Dubai to New York. This ever-growing empire continues its meteoric rise with stores planned for China and Japan. Despite this resounding success, Venchi has never lost sight of its founder’s passion and artistry.
