This morning I had the opportunity to go back to the Serrani chocolate factory, run by a smiling Carlo and Oanna. I've already been several times by this point, and love showing it to our visitors because it's really a special place. Probably the pictures will tell you best, but bear in mind that EVERYTHING is entirely produced at Oanna's hands...accompanied by her 45-day-old baby.
So, here we go:
 |
| This is the factory shop |
 |
| Meet Carlo, Oanna, and baby! |

 |
| Yes, olive oil is used as an ingredient! |
 |
| Cranberries. Honey. Yum. |
 |
This machine is used for coating things with chocolate
(think hazelnuts, lemon peel, kumquats, etc.) |
 |
| On the left is the hazelnut blender. The right is a mixer for fillings. |
 |
| Their son is so proud of the factory! |
 |
| Isn't she precious? |

Background: chocolate fountain.
Foreground: chocolate coconut bars. |
 |
| This is the cooling belt. |
 |
| Final wrapping, scales, etc. |
Yes, they are always happy to give samples. Yum!
Love,
Alexandra
