A renowned Italian chocolate and Gelato purveyor has arrived at Aventura Mall. Venchi delivers big on delights thanks to its confectionery prowess, expert savoir fair and a décor feature called the Chocoviar Wall, the shop’s clever gizmo that highlights the brand’s most popular Chocoviar products.

With 140 years of expertise in chocolate making, Venchi’s history dates back to 1878 when Silviano Venchi, a 20-year-old from Turin, who loved chocolate, spent his life savings on two bronze cauldrons to experiment with carob. Today, Venchi is an internationally known brand with more than 350 chocolate recipes and 90 gelato flavors sold in over 70 countries through more than 180 boutiques worldwide.

All Venchi offerings are natural with no coloring agents, preservatives, or palm oils. Venchi chocolates contain noble fats such as olive oil and cocoa butter, are gluten-free and some are vegan-friendly as well. The new ChocoGelateria will feature a variety of Venchi’s iconic chocolates including Chocoviar, Gianduiotti, Cremini, Pistachio, Hazelnut, and other seasonal and year-round products. You can also expect signature Gelato and Gelatoshakes, authentic Italian coffees, hot chocolate, and crepes made with Venchi’s rich and wonderful hazelnut chocolate spread dispensed from a chocolate fountain.

“As the premier shopping destination in Miami and South Florida, and one of the top shopping centers in the United States, Venchi is excited to have a ChocoGelateria at Aventura Mall,” notes Mark Ellis, Chief Commercial Officer of Venchi. “This is definitely a luxury destination and the perfect venue to showcase our authentic Italian products and share a moment of Italian Allegria with both locals and tourists who shop there.”

Be sure to stop by Venchi’s new Aventura Mall store located on the Lower Level near Zara. The boutique features an extensive selection of gifts and more than 50 chocolates to “pick & mix.”
