The best chocolatiers Emilia-Romagna

The true gourmets will find here what they need to satisfy their desires! Founded in 1796 (Bologna was then occupied by Napoleon's troops), it is the oldest chocolate maker in the city. Majani was an official supplier to the Royal House of Savoy after the unification of Italy. Taste the famous cremini, incredibly melting little squares: made of four layers of marzipan and hazelnut paste, they were invented in 1911 for the launch of the Fiat Tipo 4. Another chocolatey delicacy is the tortellino, dark, milk or white, with creamy filling.

Here you can taste the famous torta barozzi, invented by Eugenio Gollini in 1907 and whose secret recipe, kept by the Gollini family, has been handed down from generation to generation. However, the veil is lifted on the ingredients: melting chocolate, almonds, eggs, butter and sugar. Eugenio Gollini decided to give his invention the name "barozzi" to celebrate the memory of the architect Jacopo Barozzi, because in 1907, in Vignola, they were celebrating the 400th anniversary of his birth.
