180g - Car-shaped Chocolate
Brand: Majani
Shaped like a classic Fiat 500 car, these 'Cinquino'
Chocolates are milk or dark chocolate on the outside and filled
with exquisite hazelnut and almond cream. 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'.
