Enjoy an assortment of Italian-made chocolates and traditional gelato at Venchi. The chocolates and gelato are created with high-quality, all-natural ingredients. A key ingredient is Piedmont hazelnuts, which is used in gianduja, a sweet chocolate spread containing hazelnut paste. The brand was created in 1878 by Silviano Venchi, who opened his shop crafting artisan chocolate in Turin, the cradle of Gianduja and Italian confectionery. Venchi also offers pralines, chocolate bars and chocolate spreads.
