Everything begins in the small shop in Via Maria Vittoria near via Lagrange, in the city of Torino, just after the Second World War: everyday life had to be rebuilt, wellness was the peace painfully obtained and chocolate a luxury good, a treat for holidays. During those years, the Turin tradition was not lost under the bombing but was coming to life to delight the palates of the Savoy family and the rest of the population.  
The small production wasn’t only about the famous gianduiotti, but also pralines, bars and   spreadable creams that soon became popular in everybody’s homes.  
In 2018 a group of chocolate lovers decided to take over the production of the company and bring forward the historic brand, Cioccolato Calcagno.
All of us have memories of ‘chocolate moustache’ because stolen from the jar, the mouth full of chocolates because one was not enough, the constant reproaches and irresistible temptations. This passion for chocolate is linked to the single personal motivations of all shareholders who share the idea to do business with other scopes, not only making profits. Challenges, exploring new roads, working ethically and with passion. Thus, a new adventure begins: Calcagno1946 project resumed, based on tradition and innovation and renews itself with a team mainly consisting of women.  
We carry out concrete projects that are coherent with our company values, and we look to the future aware and honored of preserving a preciuos piece of the chocolate history of Turin.
