Amedei, an Ecologically Sustainable Chocolate with a Feminine Touch

Passion for chocolate, absolute dedication to the work involved and a continuous striving for perfection. These are the qualities that come to life in every taste of the precious Amedei chocolate. Cecilia Tessieri, the first woman to take on the role of maitre chocolatier, made a brave decision in trying to produce the best chocolate in the world from bean to bar, overseeing each phase of the production. Not only has she been able to turn her dream into reality, dedicating herself to the art of chocolate, she has also set in place an ecologically sustainable production process, formed a strong brand identity and researched, together with her mother Ida, the design of the confections.
