Turin, Italy

     Turin is such a beautiful city, but although it does not offer much beyond its' Italian charm, for good reason it has been named the chocolate capital of Italy. I want to go over what is necessary to have the best chocolaty experience from Turin. The city has a unique way of having every store front contained within gorgeous arches set into the buildings, keeping them off of the road and keeping you, and the chocolate, out of the sun.

Within these scenic arches is the true spirit of Turin. Chocolate shops. We tried four different chocolates: milk chocolate, milk chocolate truffle, milk-dark chocolate lemon and hazelnut chocolate. All absolutely delicious. If traveling to Turin for leisure, I recommend buying more. Being of a strict budget, not strict enough for chocolate splurging, Jerry and I need to take it easy, but you have to try as many pieces of chocolate as your heart desires. By the way, Paris is not the only city with fabulous macaroons. Turin chocolate makes wonderful macaroons and even better gelato. Yummy :)
