Carluccio's Italian Chocolate Range

What makes Carluccio's Italian Chocolate truly special? It's the meticulous attention to quality ingredients, often sourced from specific regions of Italy renowned for their produce. It's the dedication to traditional recipes, passed down through generations, ensuring an authentic taste experience. And it's the perfect balance of rich cocoa, often combined with the finest hazelnuts, pistachios, and other exquisite Italian flavours.

In the Carluccio's shop, you'll discover a delightful array of Italian Chocolate creations, each a testament to this philosophy:

• Gianduiotti: These iconic, boat-shaped chocolates, a specialty of Piedmont, are a must-try. Carluccio's offers both classic milk and hazelnut Gianduiotti, as well as rich Dark Hazelnut Gianduiotti. Their melt-in-your-mouth texture and intense hazelnut flavour are truly unforgettable. You can even find Gianduiotti Selezione for a curated experience or Gianduiotti al Caramello Salato for a modern twist with salted caramel.

• Truffles (Tartufi): Dive into the luxurious world of Italian truffles. Carluccio's presents an enticing selection, including Tartufi Neri (Dark Chocolate & Hazelnut Truffles) for a deep, intense flavour, Tartufi Bianchi (White Chocolate, Hazelnut & Almond Truffles) for a creamy indulgence, and Tartufi al Cappuccino (Milk Chocolate, Hazelnut & Coffee Truffles) for a sophisticated coffee kick.

• Fichi Ricoperti (Chocolate Coated Figs): A delightful combination of natural sweetness and rich chocolate, these chocolate-coated figs are a true Italian delicacy, often from Calabria, where figs are particularly prized.

• Cioccolatini al Limoncello: Experience the vibrant zest of Italy with Limoncello cream-filled chocolates, offering a refreshing and indulgent treat.

• Lingotti al Pistacchio: For white chocolate lovers, these pistachio white chocolates provide a unique and nutty flavour profile.

• Grissini Ricoperti Di Cioccolato Al Latte: A playful yet sophisticated treat, these hand-rolled breadsticks dipped in milk chocolate offer a delightful contrast of savoury and sweet, and a satisfying crunch.

• Torrone al Limone Ricoperto di Cioccolato: Soft nougat with lemon and dark chocolate is another wonderful example of Carluccio's unique combinations.

These Italian Chocolates are not just for special occasions; they are perfect for all-year-round indulgence.

While Italian Chocolate takes centre stage, Carluccio's sweet offerings extend further into a delightful world of other confectionery, cakes, and biscuits:
