This is part of our Christmas Chocolates & Confectionery Collection.
Bright citrus and rich dark chocolate make an irresistible pairing in these classic Limoncelli from Davide Barbero.
A shell of dark chocolate surrounds a smooth cream flavoured with Sorrento Limoncello, bringing together bittersweet cocoa and the fresh, aromatic character of Italian lemon liqueur. Davide Barbero specifically makes its Limoncelli with Sorrento Limoncello cream, giving the centre a distinctly southern Italian citrus note.
Made in Asti, they bring a little north-meets-south Italy to the chocolate box: Piemontese confectionery craftsmanship wrapped around one of Campania’s most famous flavours.
Presented in Davide Barbero’s distinctive metal tin, they make an elegant gift with a wonderfully nostalgic feel — although the combination of dark chocolate and Limoncello makes opening the tin considerably easier than putting the lid back on.
Serve after dinner, perhaps with a chilled Limoncello, or simply enjoy one when something rich, citrusy and distinctly Italian is called for.
Barbero has a long history with Carluccio's. In fact it was by chance that Antonio was having coffee in a Caffe in Alba, that the owner presented a slice of local Torronfette (a brittle, crunchy nougat) with his espresso. Impressed by the quality, Antonio immediately went about meeting the owner and from there the relationship was born.
