Giardino SambuyPass-by Only
We start our food tour with the famous Gianduiotto: it is a chocolate born in 1852 in Turin, shaped as ingots and incredibly creamy.Gianduiotti are individually wrapped in gold tinfoil and created with a unique mixture of Piedmont hazelnut, cocoa and sugar.
Via RomaPass-by Only
In the second stop, you will taste the Bicerin: It is a layered drink made of espresso, drinking chocolate, and whole milk (or heavy cream) served in a large glass. The beverage has been known since the 18th century and was also praised by Alexandre Dumas in his letters. Another tasting is the Marron glacé: it is a precious confection, originating in Piedmont and consisting of a chestnut candied in sugar syrup and glazed. They were invented shortly after the crusaders returned to Europe with sugar because chestnuts were a very available ingredient in the woods of Piedmont. Marron glaceés were the favourite dessert of the royal family!
