History

The distinctive name of this chocolate is in honour of its 'inventors' Bruna Gibellini and Costantino Tiranti.

Bruna and Costantino lived in Genga, in Italy’s Le Marche region, an area that is now famous for the splendid Frassassi Grottoes.

Bruna Gibellini and Costantino Tiranti Bruna was a midwife and extremely passionate about her profession. She was always available on call no matter where she was.

Between 1930 and 1970 she delivered four generations of children by going to their houses throughout the local area. Her husband, Costantino, was a carpenter but often accompanied her during the calls which sometimes became quite adventurous.

The combination of chocolate and the fragrant aniseed extract provided them with pleasant and agreeable refreshment, a tonic for their toil which proved excellent in lifting their spirits, so they adopted it as their lucky charm.

In 2001 after a long period of experimentation the recipe led to the creation of "The Chocolate of BruCo". Our chocolatiers are masters in the use of rare cacaos combined with precious spices.
