THE ENJOYING AND EXCITING MUSEUM EXPERIENCE
The second Italian corporate museum, it celebrates the history of Perugina, one of Italy’s oldest and cherished brands.
The tour starts with a short video on how chocolate is processed, while the first part of the Museum is devoted to cocoa: from its origins to the modern processing method.
The fascinating Museum Gallery – full of images, wrappings and packaging – illustrates more than 100 years of Italian-made manufacturing with a video screen featuring all of Perugina’s TV adverts: from the first commercials to today’s ads.
A special focus is placed on the legendary Bacio Perugina®, with anecdotes, footage and records of the world-renowned chocolate of love.
LEARNING FROM THE MASTER CHOCOLATIERS
Watch the video and enter the magical world of Scuola del Cioccolato® Perugina®.
Inaugurated in 2004, the first in Italy open to the public, it captures the experience, expertise and creativity of Perugina®.
Fitted with stations with everything you need, with the tools required to process the ‘divine food’, this is a place where the privilege of creating your own chocolate is also combined with the enjoyment of sharing and the magic of feeling like a child, as you might have to get your hands dirty!
The special ingredients of the Scuola del Cioccolato ® Perugina ®, the Maestri Cioccolatieri, who every year put their passion into offering a large variety of Courses and skilfully guide all the participants, both beginners and experts, in the fascinating discovery of chocolate.
WHO IS THE SCUOLA DEL CIOCCOLATO ® PERUGINA ® FOR?
From courses for amateurs to learning-educational workshops for schools or companies up to actual Master’s in Chocolate Making carefully designed by our Master Chocolatiers, to cater to the needs of a varied public: from young chefs who have never worn an apron to aspiring professionals who want to learn the secrets and processing techniques of chocolate, such as manual tempering.
The ideal place to reply to the most common questions, like how to melt chocolate, make a glossy crunchy icing, make chocolates with your own hands or how to decorate a chocolate cake.
