Description

A rich Piemontese confection with a beautifully smooth pistachio centre

Beneath its chocolate shell is a soft filling made by blending pistachio with creamy white chocolate, creating a rich, melting texture and distinctive nutty flavour.

Made in Alba by the expert chocolatiers behind our much-loved chocolate truffles, each Cuneese combines the sweetness of white chocolate with the deeper, gently roasted character of pistachio.

Italian Confectionary, made by artisans

Cuneesi originated in the Piemontese town of Cuneo in the early 20th century, traditionally made with a soft rum and chocolate centre coated in chocolate. Over the generations, the celebrated regional confection has inspired new interpretations — including this smooth, nutty Pistacchio version.

Perfect with an espresso, as a little after-dinner indulgence, or tucked into a Christmas stocking for someone particularly fond of pistachio.

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.
