Venchi (#01-07/08) is a bean-to-bar gourmet Italian chocolatier, that processes raw cocoa beans into final products themselves. This allows them to control every step in the chocolate-making process, which results in an exquisite, rich, and smooth-tasting chocolate. Known throughout Italy for their Nougatine chocolates, they are made from a longstanding, secret recipe dating back to 1905. Italian hazelnuts are crumbed, caramelised, and then covered in a delightful 60% dark chocolate – making it a harmonious and sophisticated blend of goodness!
