THE INAUGURAL COLLECTION

A Taste of Tuscany, expressed through chocolate.

Inspired by Tuscany’s cherished ritual of cantucci – enjoyed slowly at the end of a meal, often alongside a glass of Vin Santo – The Inaugural Collection introduces the world of The Italian Chocolate through a composed and contemporary lens.

Refined chocolate shells, almond cantucci crunch, and softly layered regional flavours come together in pieces designed to feel familiar yet new. Each expression reflects warmth, balance, and the quiet pleasure of the after-dinner moment.

Created in collaboration with globally acclaimed Chef Nouel Catis, recognised for translating culinary tradition into modern chocolate expressions, this first release offers a refined introduction to The Italian Chocolate.

THE FLAVOURS

VIN SANTO –
WHITE CHOCOLATE

A bright, silky expression of Tuscany’s after-dinner ritual – white chocolate, almond-cantucci crunch, and a Vin Santo caramel shaped by sun-touched grapes.

Inspired by the Tuscan tradition of cantucci dipped in Vin Santo, this flavour brings a light, luminous sweetness to the collection. Balanced and aromatic, with notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and warm grape. A gentle, modern interpretation of a cherished Italian ritual.

Enjoyed after dinner or shared as a soft, elegant close to the evening.

VIN SANTO –
BLONDE CHOCOLATE

Golden and quietly indulgent – blonde chocolate layered with almond-cantucci crunch and a Vin Santo caramel shaped by sun-dried Tuscan grapes.

A deeper, warmer expression of the Vin Santo ritual. Blonde chocolate, naturally toasted and softly golden, carries notes of honeyed grape and gentle toasted sweetness. This flavour captures the feeling of golden hour in Tuscany. A familiar ritual, refined with contemporary ease.

Ideal for late evenings, quiet moments, or as a refined gift.

HONEY & FIG –
MILK CHOCOLATE

Warm and softly aromatic – milk chocolate with almond-cantucci crunch and a honey-fig filling inspired by the Tuscan countryside.

An ode to the hills around Siena, where figs and honey have long symbolised abundance. Milk chocolate encloses almond-cantucci crunch and a filling made with fig jam, floral honey, and vanilla. Rounded, gently fruity, and quietly elegant – rustic simplicity elevated into modern indulgence.

Best enjoyed in the afternoon or offered as a thoughtful, generous gift.

ESPRESSO –
DARK CHOCOLATE

Structured and aromatic – dark chocolate layered with almond-cantucci crunch and an espresso caramel infused with roasted coffee.

A tribute to Florence’s café culture. Espresso as an Italian rhythm. Dark chocolate surrounds almond-cantucci crunch and a caramel infused with roasted coffee and vanilla. Bold yet balanced, with clean espresso notes and caramel warmth – a contemporary, composed interpretation of Italy’s daily ritual.

A natural pairing with espresso or enjoyed as a clean finish to a meal.
