Glass jars of spreadable chocolate. Gelato cones dipped in chocolate and hazelnuts. Chocolate truffles wrapped in colors of Venetian Renaissance paintings. This wonderland of gourmet sweets is the world of Venchi, an Italian chocolate company founded in Turin over 100 years ago.
Venchi opened its second location in New York City this week, just steps from Central Park.
This week, Venchi Italian Chocolates celebrates a new location in Manhattan on Columbus Circle.
The new boutique serves Italian hot chocolate, crepes and coffee in addition to its variety of chocolate. It will likely become an appetizing oasis for chocolate lovers and gelato enthusiasts, and its proximity to Central Park will be another plus when the summer months roll in.
Throughout January, Venchi will be serving “Veganuary Gelatos,” (vegan gelato) in addition to its iconic flavors of Piedmont Hazelnut, Green Pistachio and Sorrento Lemon.
The new Venchi boutique on Columbus Circle sells an array of chocolate pralines, truffles, bars, and chocolate spreads.
And like its other location in the Flatiron District, the chocolate offering should be explored. Venchi sells bar chocolates, boxes of velvety pralines and truffles, and of course, its celebrated Suprema chocolate hazelnut spread.
