Experience the Rich Flavors of Autumn with Bvlgari

As September 18 approaches, chocolate lovers prepare to be delighted by the new seasonal collection from Bvlgari Il Cioccolato. This year's offerings are inspired by the stunning landscapes of Trentino-Alto Adige, a beautiful region located in northeastern Italy, known for its lakes and forests. Renowned Master Chocolatier Gianluca Fusto has crafted exquisite chocolate gems that capture the essence of autumn, collaborated with Japanese artisans to create delicious novelties, including tortino and tavoletta.

Seasonal Chocolate Gems: Apple & Sage (Mela Verde Salvia)

The first gem to highlight the collection is the seasonal chocolate gem, 'Apple & Sage', which combines the ripe apple harvest with fragrant sage. This dual-layered treat features a flavorful gelatino made from apples grown in one of Europe’s largest apple-producing regions. The use of alpine meltwater and the region’s significant temperature variations provide apples with a unique balance of sweetness and acidity. As you take a bite, the juicy sweetness and refreshing tartness explode in your mouth, wrapped in white chocolate and complemented by sage’s herbal aroma, leaving a lingering freshness reminiscent of autumn in the Alps.

Seasonal Tortino: Chestnut & Blackcurrant (Castagne Ribes nero)

Next, the collection introduces the 'Chestnut & Blackcurrant' tortino, reminiscent of a small tart, or tortino in Italian. This indulgent creation is filled with rich chestnut ganache, paired beautifully with tonka bean flavor and vibrant blackcurrant gelatino. The experience is further enhanced by the crisp texture of milk chocolate combined with a delicate sablé, encapsulating the sweet essence of autumnal Alpine delights.

Seasonal Tavoletta: Apple & Cinnamon

The new tavoletta, a chocolate bar crafted similarly with carefully selected cacao and quality ingredients, takes the form of a traditional apple strudel from Trentino-Alto Adige. With a biscuit-like bronze chocolate enveloping the rich flavors of dried apples and high-quality raisins, alongside a cinnamon-flavored crumble, each bite offers a delightful contrast of textures and a smooth finish. This inviting treat truly embodies the spirit of fall, rewarding your senses in every bite.
