Alessio Brusadin – Dark Chocolate Bar with Blackberries, Lemon and Mint – Italian Artisan Chocolate – Avvenice

Alessio Brusadin – The Pantry of Alessio Brusadin

Hello Everyone! My name is Alessio Brusadin from Pordenone, Friuli, professional chef and globetrotter . After the hotel school, I worked for some years in Pordenone and once completed the National service, I left for London. There I worked in 5 star establishments such as the Hyde Park Hotel, The Halkin Hotel (under the guidance of Gualtiero Marchesi) and The Metropolitan Hotel, until I opened my own chain of Italian restaurants one of which, Grano in Kew Bridge, won the award for “Best Italian Restaurant of the Year” in 2000.

After fifteen years abroad, I returned home and settled in Caldaro, immersed in the beautiful hills of South Tyrol, where I opened with my partner Vito Leone the Restaurant Ritterhof . I than moved to the next valley where with the Corrà brothers I started this incredible adventure. The return to Italy was a rediscovery of wonderful flavors and products.

The aim is to source the best ingredients, capturing the essence of their flavours, add a bit of skills and creativity and, without adding any preservatives, make them available for the pleasure of you all.

The Chocolate Jams

The chocolate jams are jams, some mashed, other with pieces with the addition of chocolate at the end. They are greedy and perfect for afternoon snacks for children and not. They are, like all my products completely natural without preservatives or colorings.

I combined them with pancakes, whaffle, muffins and pies but also spread on a slice of toasted bread.
