Amedei Toscano Black

Amedei Toscano Black: A twenty-year long search for perfection for an extraordinary dark chocolate experience

Amedei celebrates the twentieth anniversary of its iconic range with a limited edition of Toscano Black 70 and the brand new Toscano Black 90

Amedei pays tribute to twenty years of the Toscano Blackline, its first step in the long journey undertaken in the world of top-quality chocolate, with a limited edition of Toscano Black 70, the first and historic chocolate creation by Amedei, and with the new Toscano Black 90, the 90% extra dark chocolate enriching and completing this precious range, synonymous with perfection in the art of dark chocolate.

Amedei has since 1990 represented the Italian mastery and excellence in the art of artisan chocolate transformation. Throughout its history, it has discovered and enhanced the finest cocoa beans coming from the marvelous places that preserve the origin and creation of this divine product. Control of the entire production chain, from the bean to the tablet, has always set the company apart in its responsibility for shaping authentic and timeless taste emotions.

It was 1998 when Cecilia Tessieri, the first female maître chocolatier in the world and the founder of Amedei, gave life to her very first creation, Toscano Black 70, carefully dosing few ingredients of the highest quality and processing them by hand: cocoa beans and cane sugar, perfectly balanced in order to obtain a 70% extra dark chocolate blend with such a unique and pioneering aromatic profile that it won 5 international awards at the London Academy of Chocolate.

Today Amedei and Toscano Black have maintained the same spirit as in those days. The difference is an increased knowledge that has been developed over time, thanks to the creation of always new blends, recipes, and combinations of ingredients that have given rise to flavours and aromas capable of captivating all gourmands.

The new celebratory packaging thus preserves the unmistakable timeless taste of Toscano Black 70 and its inviting and authentic fragrance, tinged with tobacco and toasted malt scents. Its structured flavour, after the initial delicacy, bursts out overwhelmingly, offering the palate an absolute and inimitable taste experience.

With the new Toscano Black 90, innovation espouses excellence. Dark chocolate, which reaches 90%, is harmonised with a delicate fragrance of white flowers that gives rise to an inviting blend with an intense hot chocolate scent, which ferries one over to an incredible discovery of tastes: the chocolate, very creamy, has a long-lasting flavour that leaves a surprisingly fresh palate in the finale. An aromatic, persistent, and irresistible charge, a true invitation to take another bite.

For the more delicate palates, the answer resides in Tuscan Black 63, where you can taste a pleasing, dark chocolate floral blend structured with honey and toasted malt scents. Its taste is rich, full-bodied and creamy, leaving your mouth fresh and well balanced.

Together with Toscano White/ white chocolate, Toscano Nut Brown/ gianduja and Toscano Brown/ milk, Toscano Black 63, 70 and90 are part of the family I Classic Amedei, which brings together the most traditional chocolate flavours in the iconic 50gr tablet size and in 5gr napolitains format, perfect for tastings and food pairings.
