Chocolate is a serious business in Torino; there are
more master chocolatiers there than in all of France
and Belgium combined. Every spring, ChocolaTo, the
annual citywide chocolate festival, turns Torino
into a chocolate lover’s paradise.
If you happen to visit Torino in the winter,
don’t miss the chance to order up a bicerin, a
thick, rich hot chocolate with a shot of
espresso, topped with a dollop of frothy cream.
