Venchi Transforms The Beloved Italian Cannoli Into A Chocolate
The New "Cannolo" Chocolate Is The Latest Entry Into Venchi's Italian Dessert Collection
NEW YORK, NY (September 18, 2023) — Fans of the beloved Italian Cannoli dessert will be thrilled to learn renowned Italian chocolatier Venchi has transformed it into a chocolate: the Cannolo.
The new Cannolo (the Sicilian name for Cannoli which is where the pastry originated) features a ricotta cheese center enriched with delicate pieces of orange peel and candied cherries as well as a crunchy layer of gluten-free biscuits to mimic the cannoli shell, all coated in fine dark chocolate to balance the overall sweetness. It is a symphony of flavors and an interplay of textures to amaze you, bite after bite.
The Cannolo pays homage to Sicily, inviting those who enjoy it to almost feel the sun shining on the beautiful Sicilian Baroque buildings, smell the sea-scented air and hear the street sellers offering the real cannolo, which is crunchy and filled to the brim with dreamy ricotta cream.
The new Cannolo chocolate is easy and handy to always have nearby, and perfect for a mouthwatering break or to end a meal on a sweet note. It is the latest entrant into Venchi's popular new Italian Dessert Collection.
About The Italian Dessert Collection
Venchi's journey through the landmarks of Italian confectionery features a variety of chocolates such as Tiramisù, the most iconic of Italian desserts, with its coffee and mascarpone flavor combined with a fine Venezuela chocolate finish. The Caramel Pannacotta chocolate, with creamy notes of caramel chocolate and a drop of liquid caramel inside, is a tribute to the trattoria of Piedmont. The Dark Almond chocolate is inspired by the taste of marzipan and pairs layers of mouthwatering chocolate with sweet almond paste. The BacioDiDama is a sweet embrace between a crunchy gluten-free Piedmont Hazelnut biscuit and tasty Gianduja. And now the Cannolo, filled with creamy ricotta cheese with candied cherries and oranges and a crunchy gluten-free biscuit crumb, all covered by a dark shell.
Each chocolate embodies a tale of Italy's best-loved desserts and captures the essence of its place of origin. Celebrate this new addition with us and let us take you on a gourmet journey through Italy, one chocolate at a time!
