Turin Chocolate Tasting Experience

Discover the Turin Chocolate Tasting Experience!

A local expert guide will provide an overview of Turin and its role in the development of the Italian identity. Chocolate specialties have been thriving in this territory because the royal and noble families were upfront in tastings. You will start the tasting in a historical cafè tasting the original Bicerin, the traditional drink whose recipe was and still is consumed in the ‘800 century cafès.

You will then walk and you will see hidden spots. You will then move on to one of the best chocolate experience, that is going to be like a lesson/workshop.

The chocolate tasting will start and you will try the best dark chocolate made with finest cocoa, that is just the 10% of the whole world production. The tastings will be 100% organic and “bean to bar” products. This chocolate tasting will be paired with Barolo Chinato, an aromatized wine produced in the Barolo area of Piedmont, that is a perfect pairing with chocolate.

Then you will sample a selection of traditional chocolates like Gianduiotto and Cremino. Gianduiotto name comes from Gianduja: made by blending finely ground hazelnuts with chocolate to create a smooth and indulgent treat. Gianduja has a fascinating history, originating in Turin and dating back to the 19th century when cocoa was scarce and expensive.

A local food expert will explain stories around each of the tasted food and share recipes and odds. Come hungry, thirsty, and excited to learn new things, and ready to explore the sweet side of Turin. Ideal for couples, family with kids and group of friends.
