Ziccat has been a synonym of excellence in the Turin chocolate world since 1958. The company, which was taken over by the present owners in 2014, continues to blend tradition and modernity with its top-quality craft products. The workshop on Via Bardonecchia is a treat for the eyes: here, in fact, you can watch as the pralines, gianduiotti and bars are created with the finest ingredients, often using single-origin cacao.
The gianduiotti come in different variants, among which plain, coffee, chili, pistachio and without added sugar. The very latest novelty is the new line of pralines characterised by shapes and texture created with 3D printing, which bring out to the full innovative flavours such as pistachio and Maldon salt with lemon, bergamot and Sarawak black, and cappuccino. All in all an original, unique experience for chocoholics. Last but not last, be sure to try the hot chocolate without thickeners.
Besides its main shop, Ziccat now has four branches, in which it’s now possible to enjoy ice cream, fruit of a collaboration with Master of Taste Riccardo Serra’s gelateria Tosca. The most popular flavours are the excellent Ziccat gianduiotto, white chocolate and calamansi, and mango and lime.
