At the store adjacent to the workshop
where Stefano Poretti makes his
specialties, you’ll find a vast range of pralines
and chocolates, plus fun creations shaped like
utensils, animals and famous people, all fruit
of the imagination of this master chocolatier.
Besides being an expert sculptor (you can
see some of his award-winning works on his
website), he is above all a craftsman attentive
to the provenance and quality of his primary
ingredients. Hence, in partnership with
other small craft workshops, he is currently
developing a short supply chain project with
micro-producers in South Africa. Try the filled
chocolates, pralines, truffles, cremini — with
redcurrants, flavored with spices, with white
chocolate and crushed cocoa beans, with
mountain mint — or the chocolate bars,
some studded with dried fruit, with different
percentages of cocoa mass and crus from
various regions. One new creation is a hand-
made gianduiotto chocolate of rare lightness
and freshness.
Open from Wednesday to Sunday.
