Giovanni Battista Mantelli is the true creative soul of Venchi.

His connection with chocolate began since his birth, his grandfather in fact symbolically baptized him with a drop of chocolate!

Mantelli is the guardian of traditional Venchi recipes, including those of Gianduiotto and Cremino, as well as the creator of innovative recipes such as Chocoviar.

His very strong passion and desire to experiment accompany him in his mission to decline chocolate in all its forms to give a moment of pleasure and conviviality to all chocolate enthusiasts in the world.
