Additional Information

Located in the heart of the ‘Val di Nievole’ in Tuscany, you’ll uncover a chocolate laboratory nestled in the midst of the Chocolate Valley. Adhering passionately to the ‘Bean-to-Bar’ method, all components - from cocoa bean extraction to the final crafting of the chocolate bar - are handled in-house. This procedural standard has emerged as the mark of high-tier, handcrafted chocolates.

Tuscani Cioccolato prides itself on its direct import of cocoa from Nicaragua, with particular focus on two regional locales: ‘La Dalia’ and ‘Matiguas’. Our entire chocolatier process, encompassing everything from the roasting stage to final tempering, aims at drawing out the fullest flavors of our chosen Nicaraguan cacao for a truly nuanced taste. We strive to ensure that our two distinct strains of single-origin Trinitario cocoa sing in every bite.

We warmly invite you for a visit to our manufacturing grounds where you can witness each step in the fine art of chocolate production and can savor the exceptional taste of top-rated artisanal chocolate on your very own taste buds.

Delicious and interesting. - Gianluca was a wonderful guide. His English was very good. He explained the whole process very well. We even met the owner and spent time with him. It’s amazing what goes into the process to create artisan chocolate. I will be ordering more from home.

Well worth the trip - leave room in your suitcase! - Tuscani Cioccolato is a gem of a find! The entire process of crafting artisanal chocolate was well explained and demonstrated. In addition to our guide, the owner of Tuscani also presented and spoke with us. Tuscani chocolate products include a variety of bars of varying intensity as well as chocolate covered almonds, hazelnuts, local raisins and more. All products are available for tasting. The flavors are superb, smooth and clean. Minimal ingredients, genuine care and integrity of and for their product as well as for Tuscany. Would visit again.
