Description

This is part of our Carluccio's Christmas Range Collection.

The traditional expression of one of Piemonte’s most celebrated chocolates

A fine dark chocolate shell surrounds a soft, melting centre made by blending dark chocolate with aromatic rum.

Cuneesi were first created in the Piemontese town of Cuneo in the early 20th century, with rum at the heart of the original recipe. Rich, bittersweet and gently warming, this version stays closest to that classic combination.

Made by expert Italian Chocolatiers

Made in Alba by the expert chocolatiers behind our much-loved chocolate truffles, each piece balances the intensity of dark chocolate with the rounded warmth and fragrance of rum.

Available exclusively online, it makes a particularly special Christmas gift — or a suitably indulgent companion to an after-dinner espresso.

Piemonte

Piemonte (or Piedmont) is the second largest region of Italy, found in the north west of the country. Its largest city and the original capital of Italy is Turin, the bustling business and culture hub of northern Italy. Turin is filled with a mixture of 16th and 18th century renaissance, baroque and neo classical architecture. More up-to-date, it is also home to Juventus FC, one of Italy’s best football teams.

Moving away from the cities, Piedmont is known for its connection to the Alps. Almost half of the region is covered by mountains, making it one of Italy’s top skiing destinations. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.

Besides wine, the region also produces a vast amount of Italian risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli and 11 other varieties of rice are grown in paddy fields, irrigated by river water.
