Turin-the city of chocolate

Turin is called "the city of chocolate". According to legend, in 1559, General EmanueleFiliberto of Savoi brought cocoa seeds back to Turin as trophies, and the world's earliest chocolate came into being. The classic Italian chocolate brand Ferriero Group also originated from Turin. Chocolate is also ubiquitous in the daily life of Turin people.

So it is understandable that the Chocolate Festival will be held in Turin. Last year's Chocolate Festival attracted 411,111 tourists from all over the world. This year's Chocolate Festival will be held from October 8 to 17, starting from PiazzaSanCarlo, along ViaRoma and PiazzaCastello, and all the way to the nearby neighborhood, which will provide enough venues for the festival.

Turin-the sweet capital

Chocolate can be said to be one of Italy's national delicacies, and all people love it. But there has never been a city like Turin that regards chocolate as a tradition and a "god" food.

Turin is the largest chocolate manufacturing center in Italy. Apart from the big chocolate brand manufacturers such as Ferrero of Ferriero and Caffarel of Koufulai, there are also many small manual workshops to promote the continuous development of traditional chocolate technology in Turin. Strolling through the streets of Turin and finding almost any dessert shop has a history of hundreds of years.

Piedmont, where Turin is located, has 1/3 of Italy's chocolate factories. As the capital of this region, Turin naturally deserves the title of "Sweet City". Every autumn and winter, Turin holds a chocolate festival, which attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world and consumes tens of thousands of tons of chocolate at a time.

Because of the cold weather, the chocolates in Turin are different from those in other areas. They are all large and small, which makes chocolate diners enjoy themselves. Chocolate recommendation in Turin

Bicerin

In the 8th century, people invented a drink called bicerin. This hot drink consists of coffee, cocoa and cream, which is exquisite and delicious. Later, the Turin people mixed cocoa, vanilla, water and sugar to make a paste, and then made a solid clot-chocolate was born.

Gianduiotto

This is an Italian snack in which chocolate is mixed with ground roasted nuts (mainly hazelnuts, almonds or walnuts). Its name comes from a character Gianduja, who often appears in carnival, puppet show and Italian impromptu comedy. He is described as a clever and humorous peasant image, which is regarded as a symbol of Turin and Piedmont.

the prototype of this Italian chocolate is a chocolate snack-the nut chocolate "Gianduiotto" introduced by Koufulai, a candy company in Turin, Italy, in 1852.

Due to the shortage of raw materials caused by the policies of Napoleon's government at that time, the manufacturer came up with the idea of mixing hazelnuts, a local specialty, into cocoa powder to cope with the shortage of materials. I didn't expect this practice to show the fragrance of chocolate and nuts more prominently, and become a classic chocolate lasting for the next hundred years.

Dessert is something that can make everyone happy, so chocolate is definitely one of the most popular desserts, so if you have time, don't miss the chocolate festival in Turin, Italy!
