About Venchi

Venchi brings its Italian chocolate and gelato tradition to the United States through stores and an online sales channel. The brand originated in Turin, where Silviano Venchi began experimenting with chocolate in a small workshop at the age of twenty. Its history dates to 1878, connecting that early production with a current selection of pieces, bars, spreads, and gifts.

Nougatine is a historical offering: introduced in 1922, it combines crunchy caramelized hazelnuts with a sixty-percent dark chocolate coating. The business underwent a relaunch in 1998 and established a new factory in Cuneo. Chocoviar pearls appeared in 2004, giving rise to one of the catalog’s most recognizable chocolate families.

Chocoviar includes intense cocoa, pistachio, gianduia, orange, raspberry, and other combinations. The Cremino collection, gianduiotti, and Italian dessert offerings develop different directions within confectionery. The catalog also organizes milk, dark, extra-dark, and white chocolate, alongside hazelnut and pistachio collections.

Shopping formats allow individual pieces to be chosen through My Venchi Mix, as well as bags, bars, or gift boxes. Spreads, drinking chocolate, and chocolate cigars offer other formats. Vegan, no-added-sugar, and kosher categories help locate products with specific characteristics described in their listings.

Book-shaped tins, boxes, and Natura sets add presentations designed to keep or give as gifts. There are selections for birthdays, dinners, anniversaries, weddings, and graduations, alongside Chocoviar hampers and pistachio boxes. Corporate gifting prepares offerings for employees, suppliers, and offices, with inquiries separate from individual shopping.

Stores develop the chocogelateria concept, bringing chocolate and Italian gelato into one space. The brand’s timeline identifies Broadway in 2018 among its international openings. Its US channel describes company stores and authorized retailers; gelato is part of the in-store visit, while the online shop organizes chocolate shipping.

V-Club is Venchi’s loyalty program, with points and benefits linked to purchases and its participation terms. Consumer inquiries, resale, and corporate partnerships have separate forms. The selection brings together a chocolate-making history rooted in Piedmont with current ways to buy, give, and enjoy its products in the United States.
