|
What
motivated you to open a chocolate business? |
|
|
|
|
The passion for chocolate and for my greedy throat are the only reasons that made me start this adventure.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
Look for Italian flavors, such as "Barolo Chinato" red wine, "Passito di Pantelleria" sweet white wine, balsamic vinegar, tobacco, and various teas or oriental spices and flowers. |
|

|
|
|
Did
you have any formal training in chocolate making? |
|
|
|
|
I took part in lots of profesional courses with French chocolate teachers at "L'Ecole du Grand Chocolat" and Italian chocolate teachers Gianluca Fusco and Luca Montarsino.
|
|
|
|
Where
do you get your inspiration for the different flavors and textures
you include in your chocolates? |
|
|
|
|
My inspiration comes from historical and traditional recipes, put together with modern technology, plus my typical Italian imagination.
|
|
|
|
If you
had to describe your product line in a couple of sentences, what would
that be? |
|
|
|
|
I shall discribe my product like this: Classic and extravagant, introducing innovations, revolutionary and with an outline of sophistication.
|
|
|
|
What
is your personal favorite out of all the products you make and why? |
|
|
|
|
Being greedy, and I am very much so, I change the products very often, but spiced hot chocolate with fresh cream is never missing. Also certain pralines made with passion fruit, saffron or tobacco.
