Venchi
With over 140 years of heritage, Venchi is a premier chocolatier recognised for its exceptional Italian craftsmanship. By blending traditional recipes with innovative flavours, it creates luxurious confections highlighting quality ingredients and artistry
Versatility makes chocolate a time-honoured sweet treat. It is universally enjoyed, from classic bars to flavours of cake, ice cream and desserts. It transcends cultures and cuisines and has become an enduring subject of creativity. How else can chocolate be made, molded and utilised? Silviano Venchi (pronounced Ven-ki) wanted to answer this question when, in 1878, he purchased two bronze cauldrons to experiment with chocolates.
The Italian chocolatier began his trade in a little shop in the picturesque neighbourhood of Vanchiglia, Turin, where he created unique concoctions that have shaken the world, starting with their nougatine. He extended his reach by venturing into gelato, which has become a staple of the brand, seamlessly blending it with his other creations. One hundred forty years after its founding, the eponymous brand has taken place at the top of the world of chocolates and desserts, propelled by one of its bestsellers, Chocoviar.

This delight encapsulates Venchi’s best qualities: creativity and the staunch use of only the finest ingredients. Made with its 75% cuor di cacao, Chocoviar exudes an intense aroma and impressive depth. Inside the dark chocolate shell lies an indulgent filling that comes in a variety of flavours. The ingredients make all the difference in elevating each of its variations, from the prized Piedmont hazelnuts in the Gianduia to the Sicilian blood oranges in the Arancia.
Each delectable treat is enrobed in small, delicate grains of pearl-shaped dark chocolate that glisten like jewels. The interplay between taste and texture is exceptional, with each bite as pleasantly surprising as the last. The precious pieces are housed in luxurious boxes in mesmerising patterns or vibrant colours, perfect for gifting to others or for indulging alone or loved ones.
