Leone truffle chocolates mixed, 150 g bag

Piedmont is best known for its highly aromatic truffles, one of the most culinary mushrooms. The confectioner Leone produces a praline counterpart of the same level. This assortment represents all the flavorful diversity of that delicacy: a light and dark version with the flavor of Piedmontese hazelnuts (the dark ones add cocoa powder), as well as truffle pralines with pistachio and salted caramel flavors. The soft tartufi melt tenderly on the tongue and quickly fill the whole mouth with their incomparable aromatic taste.

In 1857, Luigi Leone opened a shop in Alba, Piedmont, selling his delicious sweets, pastilles and candies made from fresh, natural ingredients. In 1861, he moved his business to Turin. Even in this city justifiably bearing the title “confectionery capital of Italy” thanks to numerous cafés, patisseries and confectioneries, he stood out. So much so that by the beginning of the 20th century, “Leone” had progressed beyond being just a brand name. “Marca Leone!” was rather a common exclamation in Turin, denoting things made with excelling handicraft and of undoubtedly the highest quality. A reputation Leone enjoys to this day, and a claim that the family business still follows: by sticking to the long-tested and handed-down recipes, thus preserving the culinary heritage of its homeland.
