A video by Italia Squisita in collaboration with Carpigiani

Guido Castagna, one of Italy’s most renowned master chocolatiers, shares the story and craftsmanship behind his iconic Gianduiotto, recognized as the world's best nut praline for over 14 years.

Rooted in Turin’s rich chocolate-making tradition and refined through the innovative "Bean to Bar" approach developed in his laboratory in Giaveno, Guido Castagna’s philosophy combines exceptional ingredients, meticulous processing and continuous research to create products of outstanding quality.

This pursuit of excellence extends beyond chocolate to artisanal gelato. Using the Carpigiani UF 920 SP soft serve machine, Guido transforms his signature gianduia recipe into premium soft gelato served in convenient takeaway jars, preserving the authentic flavour and creamy texture that define his creations.

The collaboration between Guido Castagna and Carpigiani demonstrates how professional technology can support artisan craftsmanship, enabling chocolatiers to expand their offering while maintaining the highest standards of quality and consistency.
