Mixed Chocolate Eggs

Assorted Chocolate Eggs by La Perla di Torino in a Bag

The assorted chocolate eggs by La Perla di Torino are small Italian Easter eggs from Turin, each individually wrapped in colorful foil with a hazelnut paste center. Red, gold, green, and blue ones are mixed together in a colorful assortment.

Assorted chocolate eggs are small Easter eggs that La Perla di Torino casts in tiny molds from cocoa, whole milk, and hazelnut paste. We count out thirteen pieces and at least 100 grams for you, fill them into a bag, and tie a ribbon around it by hand.

Cocoa and hazelnut under a thin shell

The shell breaks at the first touch, and underneath, the soft hazelnut paste waits for its moment.

Hazelnut is prominent in the recipe, right behind sugar and cocoa mass, and you can really taste it. The paste melts immediately, so that the cocoa and nut blend together in an instant.

They are small enough for children's hands anyway, and for adults, one is usually one too few. Serve with an espresso, and the rest in the bag turns into an entire afternoon.

Colorful foil keeps the chocolate fresh

Each egg is encased in its own sheet of foil, and that is more than just color for the nest.

When wrapped, the foil conforms to every curve and stays there without springing back. It keeps out both light and air, the two things that make chocolate lose its sheen the fastest.

That is why the confectionery has never abandoned this material, even though thinner foils have long been available. Anyone who hides the eggs in the garden will notice the advantage the moment one is found in the summer and is still shiny.

At La Perla di Torino, every single egg gets its own sheet, even though the goods arrive in a bulk pack anyway. The effort is worth it on the morning of the holiday, when the nest comes alive with color and not just its contents.

Counted into bags by us

The "ovetti," as these small eggs are called in Italy, arrive at our shop loose from La Perla di Torino.

We count them out, ensure a colorful mix of shades, fill a bag, and tie a ribbon around it. Because this is done by hand, every package looks a little different, and which colors you receive is decided only when we fill the bag.

Exactly this unpredictability is part of the Easter nest, as nothing about it is predictable anyway. Store the eggs in a cool, dark place to preserve their shine; above eighteen degrees, the chocolate turns matte, which does not affect the taste but does affect the appearance.

Small eggs from great craftsmanship

Even the smallest format comes from the same Turin workshop as the large truffle balls.

La Perla di Torino casts the ovetti in molds that are barely larger than a thumb and wraps each one individually. At this size, there is more manual labor in a single bag than in many a large bar.

Because the same mass goes into the company's large molds, the smallest egg tastes like the same workshop as the truffle balls. Only the portion size is different, and that is exactly their appeal for the nest.

It is best to hide them where you will be able to find them again yourself later, because children search more thoroughly than adults remember. Larger eggs are available as Chocolate Pistachio Easter Egg, with more seasonal items in our Easter selection.
