Swiss Tradition: Chocolate

Imagine a river of chocolate sliding voluptuously towards the moulds; its full-bodied colour and its spicy scent a product of the experience of Swiss master chocolatiers who have made it one of the world’s most popular products. Chocolate is a traditional Swiss speciality, the result of many centuries spent testing and refining the original recipe, before arriving at the final result that everyone is now familiar with. But there are different types of chocolate; what you have to imagine is the best Swiss chocolate, the one conceived by master chocolatiers, who have made it famous all over the world.

What would be the result if the Swiss chocolate tradition was combined with a traditional Lucan product, a pepper that has been cultivated for centuries in the Pollino National Park and was imported by the Arabs in the Middle Ages? Two traditions coming face to face; North and South uniting and giving life to an innovative product with a unique and captivating flavour. Like Swiss chocolate, which has a tradition rooted in that country, Cruschi Peppers have also been awarded the IGP seal, and can only be grown in Basilicata.

When Swiss chocolate meets the Cruschi Peppers, it creates Cioccocrusco, an exclusive high quality product that aims to bring together, in a single product, two very geographically distant places, but using a traditional product from each region.

North and south meet and blend together to make an intense and spicy whole!
