PRALINES
Filled pralines in 16
flavours, exclusive recipes created especially for Armani, made in Italy by a maitre
chocolatier working solely on behalf of Armani / Dolci. No artificial
preservatives, colourings or OGM ingredients are used in this luxury collection
of flavours ranging from the classic to the exotic. Four pure chocolate “A”s
form the heart of the Praline collection (extra dark from 75% Tanzanian cocoa
beans, extra dark 75% with whole hazel nuts from Piedmont, milk chocolate and
white chocolate), and limited editions
can be commissioned for special occasions.
DRAGEES
Nuts and almonds are
wrapped in chocolate to create six different ways of delighting the taste buds.
Equally delicious, there are toasted almonds within a thick coating of caramel,
as well as spicy candied ginger and tea covered by dark chocolate.
CHOCOLATE CREAMS
These chocolate surprises
for grown-ups have been lightly sweetened and gently steeped in alcohol. They
can also be warmed up in a bain-marie or in a microwave oven to serve as a
delicious sauce over fruit, ice cream or desserts.

flavoured creams created for the very young and the young at heart. The range
includes mixes of milk cream with white chocolate, coffee and milk cream and
cinnamon.
