Our ingredients
We select the best raw materials for the production of high quality chocolate, made with love and care. The cocoa mass is composed of fine cocoas, rich in aromatic nuances, mainly from Central America. We process three types of cocoa in our workshop:
- Theobroma cacao: Criollo, also called noble cacao. White seeds, very fragrant and not very bitter.
- Theobroma cacao sphaercarpum Forastero: violet seeds with a strong, bitter taste. Strong and very productive.
- Trinitarian (hybrid of the first two) with intermediate characteristics.
If you have come this far, then we have something in common: a love of chocolate. Because, let’s face it, resisting it is really impossible. And we, who have turned this passion into a job, know it well.
The VizioVirtù adventure began in 2005 when we opened our first artisan laboratory, a chocolate shop capable of satisfying even the most demanding palates (including our own) and making Venice an even sweeter city.
And it is right in the heart of the Lagoon, between Rialto and Piazza San Marco, that VizioVirtù is located.
Why did we choose this corner of Venice? Because it was here that Marco Polo lived, spices, coffee and cocoa powder were traded.
Yes, cocoa powder, our favourite ingredient, the one that is never missing from our chocolate shop.
