What
motivated you to open a chocolate business? |
|
|
|
|
I basically grew up in the chocolate business. I was only 8 years old when I began,
like my father, to distinguish the various fragrances of cacao. |
|
|

|
|
 |
Giandujottino Tourinot is just one of the gianduja recipes available- all guaranteed in different ways to make you go wow. Guido Gobino is a mecca for Gianduja fanatics like me. |

Did
you have any formal training in chocolate making? |
|
|
|
|
My father has always been the greatest master. |
|
|
|
Where
do you get your inspiration for the different flavors and textures
you include in your chocolates? |
|
|
|
|
Often the best ingredients are found in places that are far from home... for
this reason it is necessary to look for them around the world. Cocoa, for example, I
personally choose the prestigious qualities from countries like Venezuela, Trinidad
and Java. Traveling provides me with the opportunity to know new flavors and I adore
recreating the atmosphere of these far away places, creating original pairings with my
chocolates and various precious ingredients in the world. |

|
If you
had to describe your product line in a couple of sentences, what would
that be? |
|
|
|
|
Tradition, research and innovation have not found a more perfect synthesis.
A good chocolate is not made-- it is created, exclusively with the best ingredients.

|
|
What
is your personal favorite out of all the products you make and why? |
|
|
|
|
I wouldn’t know what to say. Each product has it’s own special qualities, for which I
love them all in the same way. |
