Venchi is an Italian gourmet chocolate manufacturer founded by chocolatier Silviano Venchi.[1] After its establishment in Turin in early 1878, the company expanded throughout Italy with its Nougatine, small candies made of crushed and caramelized hazelnuts coated in dark chocolate.

For the production of the various chocolates, Venchi uses cocoa originating from plantations in Central/South America and Africa, distilled rum from the Caribbean, as well as natural vanilla. The Piedmontese hazelnuts are claimed to prevent the chocolate from tasting acidic.[2]

In 2006 they started to make ice cream, sold by their shops all over the world. Their operate 120 shops is in 70 countries.[3]
