A. GiordanoAt the Turin shop A. Giordano, one breathes in history. Here, in fact, they’ve been making quality chocolate for more than a hundred years. Today, they no longer make it in Turin itself but in the nearby town of Leinì. The Faletti family are the current owners of the trademark registered by Commendatore Giordano and still use his old, secret recipes to produce traditional Piedmontese specialities such as cremini (mini chocolate sandwiches), chocolate liqueurs, preferiti (cherries macerated in Maraschino liquor, and dipped in white, milk or dark chocolate), hazelnut trios, gianduiotti and giacomette (with crushed hazelnuts), mixed and blended by hand. Also available, plain chocolate bars (up to 100%), chocolate blocks, chocolate nougat, spreading creams (gianduja, hazelnut, pistachio and crushed hazelnuts), cremoni (maxi chocolate sandwiches weighing up to 1,600 grams and the iconic wrapped Alpinluce liqueur chocolates, consisting of hand-made chocolate shells filled with chocolate cream and Doc Passito di Caluso wine.
