BVLGARI IL CIOCCOLATO is collaborating with Italian pastry chef Gianluca Fusto to create six sweet treats, available for a limited time until September 30th.
Gianluca Justo is known for breathing new life into the classicism of traditional Italian pastries, creating stylish sweets that exude a modern touch despite their simplicity. For this collaboration, three types of cakes and three flavors of chocolate have been created, based on the concept of "Ultimate Culture Experience."
"Crostata di Tangeri - Limited Edition by Fusto" (10,000 yen including tax)
"Crostata di Tangeri - Limited Edition by Fusto" (10,000 yen including tax), a tart that evokes summer in Italy, uses orange to express a nostalgia for Sicily, mango from Miyazaki, and cinnamon to add a Mediterranean flavor. You can enjoy the juicy sweetness of freshly sliced mango and the gentle flavor created by the cream made from white chocolate and mascarpone.
Available for purchase at Bvlgari Il Bar Bvlgari Ginza Tower on the 10th floor and Bvlgari Il Cioccolato Matsuya Ginza on the 1st basement floor.
"Torta Amandino - Limited Edition by Fusto" (10,000 yen including tax)
"Torta Amandino - Limited Edition by Fusto" (10,000 yen including tax), which allows you to fully enjoy domestic white peaches, is inspired by Sicily's "Biancomangiare" and uses white peaches, lemon, and almonds. The rosemary added to the mousse, made with almond-flavored milk and fresh cream, gives it a subtle bitterness and freshness that complements the sweetness of the white peach compote.
Available at Bvlgari Il Bar, Bvlgari Ginza Tower 10th floor, and Bvlgari Il Cioccolato, Matsuya Ginza B1 floor. "Caprese - Limited Edition by Fusto" (5,500 yen including tax) is also available. Caprese - Limited Edition by Fusto (5,500 yen including tax) is a delicious cake that brings out the aroma of yuzu, a refreshing reinterpretation of Caprese, a traditional southern Italian dessert renowned for its flavor in Capri. While a typical Caprese is a chocolate cake filled with chopped nuts, this cake uses yuzu instead of chocolate, and the dough is flourless so anyone can enjoy it, with olive oil instead of butter. While retaining a distinctively Italian flavor, the cake boasts a unique Italian sensibility that enhances the texture and flavor of Japanese yuzu. Available for purchase at Bvlgari Il Café Hankyu Umeda Main Store (4th floor), Bvlgari Il Cioccolato Takashimaya Osaka (1st basement floor), and online shop (http://gourmet.bulgari.com/).
"Bvlgari Chocolate Gems - Limited Edition by Fusto" (set of 3: 3,100 yen including tax, one Matcha & Rosemary: 1,500 yen including tax)
The chocolates come in three flavors: "Saffron & Almond", "Matcha & Rosemary", and "Caramel Orange". This chocolate combines the soft texture of raw chocolate favored by Japanese people with the crispy chocolate preferred by Italians, allowing you to enjoy its delicate texture and flavor, fusing the culinary cultures of Italy and Japan. In addition to the special box containing three pieces of each flavor, "Bvlgari Chocolate Gems 3-Piece Set - Limited Edition by Fusto" (3,100 yen including tax), the lineup also includes a box containing only one piece of the limited-edition flavor "Matcha & Rosemary" (1,500 yen including tax). Available at Bvlgari Il Bar (Bvlgari Ginza Tower, 10th floor), Bvlgari Il Café (Hankyu Umeda Main Store, 4th floor), Bvlgari Il Cioccolato (Matsuya Ginza, 1st basement floor), and Bvlgari Il Cioccolato (Takashimaya Osaka, 1st basement floor).
