Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Piazza San Carlo, Piazza San carlo, 10121 Turin Italy
We’ll share with you the best dessert and pastries directly from the longstanding Turinese tradition and the polished historic cafes, contributing to the kingly atmosphere in the city.
With our Historic Cafes and Confectioneries tour, you will taste the most representative patisseries, learn how they are prepared and
spend a long breakfast (or afternoon break) in exclusive and relaxed environments.
You will taste some of the following specialities in our Turin Food Tour (according to products availability):
Gianduiotti: is a chocolate born in 1852 in Turin, shaped as ingots and incredibly creamy. Gianduiottis are individually wrapped in a gold tinfoil and created with a unique mixture ofPiedmont hazelnut, cocoa and sugar.
Bicerin: not-to-be-missed! It is a layered drink made of espresso, drinking chocolate, and whole milk (or heavy cream) served in a large glass. The beverage has been known since the 18th century and was also praised by Alexandre Dumas in its letters.
Marron Glacé: is a precious confection, originating in Piedmont consisting of a chestnut candied in sugar syrup and glazed. They were invented shortly after the crusaders returned to Europe with sugar, because chestnuts were a very available ingredient in the woods of Piedmont. Marron glaceés were the favourite dessert of the royal family!
Pinguino (‘penguin’): in the warm season, we will taste the actual artisan gelato covered in crunchy dark chocolate. The confectionery we chose is the one were the Pinguino was first invented as a local contribution to Italian tradition in gelato-making.
Cremino: is a chocolate originally from Piedmont, composed by three layers of chocolate, the outer ones are made with gianduia chocolate, while the inner one can be made with coffee, hazelnut paste, lemon and so much more. Its typical shape is a cube and it's wrapped in tinfoil with a band which indicates the flavour.
Espresso: the best coffee in town in an exclusive cafè.
