Slitti's award winning chocolate, made in Tuscany

Andrea Slitti is a supporter of “Pure Chocolate” and elaborates on the recipes of his chocolates without soy lecithin, but only with natural vanilla. His creative skills provide us with unique products: chocolate spoons which melt slowly whilst stirring coffee and “Lattenero”, a new line of milk chocolate with a particular taste given by the high percentage of cocoa (available with 45%, 51%, 62% or 70% of cocoa), a line which has made even milk chocolate a “High-Quality Chocolate”.
