Inebriating
scents of cocoa and candied fruit, sugar and cherries left to macerate in
barrels of spirit. Cioccolateria Croci is a true paradise for those who are
chocolate and traditional Italian recipes lovers that, here in Turin, take on
the mystical traits of sacredness.
Guido and his
brother Luca are the two Willy Wonka of this story, made of a family tradition
that has been handed down for three generations. In 1930 grandparents Gualtiero
and Rosa had opened a traditional artisan pastry, then their son Bruno, sensing
time evolution, decided to specialize himself as chocolate maker, transforming
the family business into the enterprise that is still today.
Croci brothers’
every day aim is to propose, in respect of preserving Turin traditional
techniques and recipes, new tastes and flavors.
Recently, a
unique on market product, has been introduced: "Divini" chocolates
with a heart of liquid fine wine inside (Barolo and Champagne). The new product
continue alongside of the great classic ones such as "Preferiti",
prepared with cherries from Pecetto, and the "Dragees", chocolates
that wrap around the famous and delicious “tonda gentile delle Langhe”
hazelnuts.
Every single phase of
the process is carefully checked in the laboratory, ensuring quality and food
safety of all our products: from the choice of raw ingredients, all Italian and
valuable, to the preparation of the chocolate and its fillings, and finally to
the creation of the product and its packaging, strictly handmade.
