Some History

Through the Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés Cacao came from the Americas first to Spain in the early 1500s where it was only available among the Royals, the Court, the Aristocratic families and the Elites. It was a luxury treat.

Cacao has been kept a state secret in Spain for almost 100 years, before traveling to Turin (Italy) around 1560 as the result of a Love Story between Emanuele Filiberto - Duke of Savoy and Catherine of Spain.

Turin - where Cacao arrived directly from Spain before spreading all over Italy first, then all over Europe - remained the Italian capital of chocolate for many years and has a long standing tradition in chocolate manufacturing.

My name is Francesco, I am originally from Turin and I make chocolate to share my passion for nature and healthy foods.
