Description

A rich Piemontese chocolate with a distinctly Italian heart

Beneath its fine dark chocolate shell is a soft, smooth filling made by blending dark chocolate with the warm, aromatic almond notes of Amaretto.

Made in Alba by the expert chocolatiers behind our much-loved chocolate truffles, each Cuneese balances the bittersweet intensity of its dark chocolate coating with a rich, melting centre and gently warming liqueur character.

Regionally sourced Italian chocolates with history

Cuneesi originated in the Piemontese town of Cuneo in the early 20th century, traditionally made with a soft rum-infused chocolate centre coated in dark chocolate. Over the generations, this celebrated regional confection has inspired new interpretations — including this wonderfully fragrant Amaretto version.

Perfect slipped into a Christmas stocking, given as a little festive gift, or enjoyed after dinner with a strong espresso, when the dark chocolate, almond and coffee flavours work particularly well together.

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.
