- Rum or Hazelnut “Santuariesi”: ancient Cuneese chocolates covered in meringue, filled with a soft rum cream (or a Langa hazelnut cream) and coated in the finest dark chocolate.
These specialities accompany the pastry shop’s daily production of croissant, fresh miniature pastries and pralines made of the finest milk and dark chocolate.
