Amedei Chocolate Bars
The Most-Awarded Chocolate Bars in the World
Driven by Cecilia Tesseri’s unwavering passion for excellence, the Amedei chocolate company has done nothing but grow in its short three decades of existence. Beginning as a small praline production company in 1990, Amedei soon distinguished itself through quality craftsmanship and great-tasting products. But Cecilia Tesseri was not satisfied. She traveled the world in search of the best cocoa plantations and chocolate production techniques. Her travels took her across Europe, where she found pre-World War 2 machinery that she began to use alongside modern equipment to cultivate an all-new means of chocolate production. Amedei began overseeing the production of its own cocoa and other ingredients, pursuing perfection from the ground up. Judging by the taste of the company’s exquisite chocolate, we can safely say Amedei is above and beyond.
