La Grande Festa del CioccolaTO

It's here! It's here!

The Great Festival of Chocolate: 10 days of tastings, entertainment, and culture in Torino. Free choco workshops, labs, and chocolate to bringing in choco-lovers while free concerts and street performances to attract the general crowd. The huge Piazza Vittorio was filled with people; of course the sunny weather (16C) helped as well.

Photo on Right: The famous Gianduia - 1) a mask/ person representing Torino and the Piemont Region of Italy and 2) a chocolate containing hazelnut which was first prepared by Caffarel (a well known chocolate factory in Torino).














Syd and I are already enjoying the yummy chocolate from the festival: dark chocolate with hazelnut and dark chocolate with chili peppers (spicy like me, haha). We will go back for more later this week.
