Chocolate tasting in Florence or at your location
Tuscany, and Florence in particular, had a very important role in the introduction and the spread of chocolate in Italy, and it was probably a Florentine , F. D’Antonio Carletti, who, in 1606, introduced it to the country. Chocolate used to be drunk in the form of a hot, creamy lkiquid , and the Medici family fell in love with this delicacy as soon as they tasted it.
Cosimo III got his personal scientist to create a special new blend, the recipe of which was guarded as a Medici “state secret”. This is the special Jasmine chocolate recipe, known as the “Granduke recipe”, that has been recreated by the Vestri family, and that you can taste with us.
