Meet the maker: Majani

In 1911, Fiat wanted a chocolate to give customers buying its new Tipo 4 luxury car. Bologna’s Majani created Cremino Fiat, with four alternating layers of hazelnut and almond cream to echo the car’s name. More than a century later, Majani says the recipe remains unchanged.

The chocolate maker’s story began in 1796, in a small “Laboratorio di Cose Dolci” – “Laboratory of Sweet Things” – near Bologna’s Piazza Maggiore. Chocolate was generally something you drank, but in 1832 Majani created Scorza, which it describes as Italy’s first solid chocolate. Its name means “bark”: thin chocolate rolled onto itself gave it a wrinkled, irregular appearance resembling oak bark. The original name, design and graphics have all survived.

Nine generations of the same family have run Majani, and its historic shop remains on Via de’ Carbonesi, where the family once lived, made chocolate and sold it under one roof. Production now takes place in Crespellano, outside Bologna, with every stage handled in-house, starting from raw cocoa beans.
