The art of artisan chocolate arrives in Frascati with Choco Italia, a traveling fair that transforms the Passeggiata del Belvedere into Italy's sweetest outdoor lounge. This event offers a sensory experience with the 'Cultural Chocolate Factory,' educational workshops, and typical products from 7 Italian regions. It's a fantastic opportunity to discover short supply chains and conscious consumption, complete with live shows and delicious tastings.
Indulge in a delightful array of artisan chocolate creations, from traditional chocolate bars and pralines to unique specialties like Modica chocolate from Sicily and buffalo milk chocolates from Molise. You'll also find gluten-free and lactose-free options, as well as chocolates made with alternative sugars. Beyond chocolate, savor traditional Italian sweets, artisan cantucci from Tuscany, exquisite dried fruits from the Picentini Mountains, organic honey, and Salerno pastries. Don't miss the street food delights like roasted chestnuts and freshly prepared croccante.
