About the chocolate testing
We were three persons who tried this chocolate: Me (Jill), Anders and my mum (Eva). Anders usually goes for somewhat sweeter chocolates than me. It also should be added that my mum probably prefers quantity before quality when it comes to sweets.

About Baratti E Milano
Ferdinando Baratti och Edoardo Milano founded a café in Turin 1858. When they eventually opened the café /shop in new premises in 1875, they were granted the honour of the Savoy Coat of Arms by the king. This Coat of Arms is still used in their logo. The same premises are still used even if it is now extended and remodelled. The Minister of Culture and Environment has decided that the building and it´s furniture have to be protected. Now the café is fully restored to its original splendour.
