May Birth Chocolate
Birth Chocolate
Gianduja
Gianduja was born in 1865 at Caffarel in Turin, Italy, a chocolate with deep history. When Napoleon's Continental System caused cocoa shortages, Turin artisans ingeniously combined limited chocolate with high-quality hazelnuts from Piedmont's Langhe hills. Its smooth texture and rich aroma, containing 28% hazelnuts, crystallizes the ingenuity born from difficult times and traditions preserved by small family workshops. The characteristic boat shape and golden wrapper derive from Turin's theatrical character 'Gianduia,' expressing regional love and cultural pride. The harmony of chocolate and nuts symbolizes new value born from different elements meeting and richness woven by family bonds, embodying cross-generational love and tradition inheritance perfect for May's Children's Day and Mother's Day.
