History

This chocolate was created in the first half of the 19th century by Ferdinando Baratti who, with his associate Edoardo Milano in a laboratory in Turin (the future Caffè Baratti & Milano  [ it ]), produced liquors and sweets. However, the first documentation about cremino are from 1934. [2] [3]

Nowadays,[ when? ] Italian producers of cremino include Caffarel, [4] Feletti  [ it ], [5] Majani  [ it ], [6] Venchi, [7] San Carlo, [8] and Pernigotti. [9]

Fiat

In 1911, the Italian car manufacturer Fiat launched a contest for Italian chocolate makers to create a new chocolate for publicising their Fiat Tipo 4  [ it ]. The contest was won by Majani, the first Italian chocolate maker established in 1796 in Bologna, who created a new cremino with four layers instead of three; two layers were made with gianduja , and the other two with almond paste.
