Venchi - Cremino 1878

The chocolate that started it all. Venchi's Cremino 1878 is a three-layered Piedmontese chocolate, just over 2.5 centimeters wide and 1.5 centimeters high. Small but extraordinary: each square features a layer of almond Gianduia sandwiched between two layers of hazelnut Gianduia, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that has remained unchanged since the company's founding year.

The Cremino format is a Piedmontese tradition, and Venchi's version uses their signature PGI Piedmont Hazelnuts from the Langhe area. These are among the most prized hazelnuts in the world, and in the Cremino they deliver a subtle, toasty richness that no other nut can match. Crafted in Piedmont since 1878. Gluten-free. When customers ask us for a recommendation, this is one of the first products we reach for.
