This dedication enables the creation of intense pleasures through simple, ‘clean’ recipes, free from shortcuts, interpreted with great creativity in the combinations of ingredients and textures.

Venchi chocolates contain noble fats such as olive oil and cocoa butter, are gluten-free, and some are vegan friendly as well; therefore Venchi supports wellbeing and a balanced lifestyle where chocolate can be a daily delight.

Venchi chocolates — all crafted in Italy — include the popular Chocoviar, Gianduiotti, Cremini, and many other products which are all on display in the stunning boutique. Customers can make a Venchi Mix to create their own chocolate assortment from more than 50 different varieties. Venchi also has a selection of attractive boxed chocolates which are the perfect present for every gift-giving occasion.

For those who may have taken a trip to Italy and first experienced Venchi gelato abroad, the new Chocogelateria offers a creative and unique gourmet gelato tasting experience. The gelato uses only the finest genuine and natural ingredients, and is crafted following traditional Italian recipes. Gelato — there are 20 flavors available daily — can be enjoyed in a cup or gourmet cone which features a rim of Venchi’s hazelnut and chocolate spread dipped in your choice of grains. The gelato can also be blended into a signature Gelatoshake.

This is Venchi’s third store in California with retail boutiques also in San Jose and San Diego.
