Majani Giandiuotti Chocolate Gift Box 200g - Gianduja
Chocolate Ingots
Brand: Majani
The Gianduiotto is a classic Italian chocolate shaped
like an ingot which originated in Turin and is now loved all over
the world. It takes its name from Gianduja, a deliciously sweet
mixture of chocolate and hazelnut named after one of the masks of
the "Italian commedia dell'arte" representing the town of Turin.
Majani's chocolatiers have created these wonderful individually
wrapped Gianduiotti following the original recipe using only the
very best quality ingredients - hazelnuts from Piedmont, sugar and
cocoa. This delicious combination of flavours creates an
irresistible smooth and silky chocolate. About the Producer Majani
is one of the oldest and most prestigious chocolate makers in
Italy. Established in Bologna in 1796 and listed in the Gold
Register among the 150 'Companies that have made Italy', the
company is famed for having won the competition to create a
chocolate to launch Fiat's Tipo 4 in 1911 - a cremino with 4
layers. Majani are one of the few bean-to-bar chocolate producers;
their chocolate is produced with the best raw cocoa beans which are
roasted in their workshop in Crespellano a small town about 10
miles west of Bologna. Artisans then create all their products
using their own traditional recipes from the last 224 years.
Founded by Teresa Majani in 1796 under the name of 'Laboratory of
Sweet Things'. Its first home was a small artisan workshop next to
the Basilica of San Petronio and soon became one of the finest
chocolate makers in Europe. Over the years Majani has been honoured
with prestigious awards including those on the occasion of the
Universal Expositions of Paris (1867 and 1878), Vienna (1873) and
Milan (1881). The company became an official supplier of the Royal
House of Savoy during the years of the birth of the Kingdom of
Italy, and more recently received the plaque 'Company that has made
the history of Italy'.
