PerottiThe Perotti family has been running this patisserie in Pont Canavese since 1968. Here everything, such as the custards cooked in copper cauldrons, is produced artisanally. Goods are simple, delicious and made with the finest ingredients: a classic example is Piasir, a spreading cream made solely with sugar, cocoa and Piedmontese hazelnuts. Another speciality of the house is Giuraje, also cooked in copper cauldrons, lovely bonbons made with hazelnuts, water and sugar and sprinkled with hazelnut flour. In addition to cakes and confectionery, Perotti also deals in chocolate: orange- and hazelnut-flavoured bars, chocolate-covered nougat and as many as 32 different types of individual chocolates. Tuma, finally, is a giant three-layered chocolate sandwich normally served in slices. The business has been included in the Gran Paradiso National Park project and some of the products bear its Trademark of Quality. Closed on Monday afternoon, Tuesday and Wednesday.
