CHOCOLATIERS
In his two points of sale, Guido Castagna sells not only his prize-winning gianduiotti,
made exclusively with Chuao criollo cacao beans from Venezuela, cane sugar and
Piedmontese hazelnuts, but also a huge variety of other products: milk chocolate, gianduia
chocolate, plain chocolate with different percentages of cacao, plain chocolate with
crushed cocoa beans and, above all, four crus with 76 per cent cacao produced using
selections from Ecuador, Venezuela, Madagascar and Ghana. Pralines range from dragées
— with candied orange, ginger, Piedmontese hazelnut and Chontalpa cacao beans from
the Slow Food Presidum in Mexico—to cremini, from spiced chocolates to truffles flavored
with maraschino, nougat, amaretto and gianduia. Milk products aside, no others contain
animal fats, glutens or milk by-products.
The shop in Giaveno is open every afternoon from Tuesday to Friday and all day on
Saturday. The shop in Turin is open every day except Sunday.
