Bodrato Dark Chocolate Cherries with Grappa – Italian Confection 200g

Bodrato's dark chocolate cherries marry the candied sweetness of morello cherries with a warming grappa centre, all wrapped in 60% dark chocolate. These are not mass-produced bonbons but handcrafted confections from a family chocolatier based in Piedmont, Italy — each one a small indulgence that feels intentional rather than impulsive.

About this product

Whole cherries are preserved in a grappa-infused syrup, then dipped in smooth dark chocolate couverture. The result is a textural conversation: the snap of chocolate giving way to the yielding cherry, followed by the floral warmth of the spirit. The 60% cocoa content ensures the chocolate doesn't overwhelm the fruit, and the grappa adds an unexpected depth that lingers on the palate. Perfect for those who appreciate spirits and chocolate as separate entities coming together rather than a gimmick.

How to enjoy

• Serve chilled on a small plate after dinner or with coffee.
• Pair with a glass of moscato or prosecco to echo the grappa's floral notes.
• Include in a gourmet gift box for someone who already has everything.
• Store in a cool place and consume within a few weeks of opening for best texture.

⭐ Why we love this

Bodrato represents the Alpine chocolatier tradition at its finest—a craft that prizes restraint and ingredient quality over novelty. The grappa-soaked cherries showcase how Italian spirits elevate chocolate beyond sweetness, a philosophy deeply rooted in Piedmont's gastronomic heritage where alcohol and confection have long been partners.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve alongside a glass of Moscato d'Asti or a dry Barolo to complement both the cherry's acidity and the grappa's herbal warmth. These work beautifully after a light dinner or as an accompaniment to strong espresso, letting the spirit's complexity shine without competing flavors.

📍 From Spain

While Bodrato itself hails from Piedmont in northern Italy—a region celebrated for its hazelnut pralines and spirit-infused confections—this artisanal product is carefully curated and distributed through El Corte Inglés, Spain's premier gourmet retailer, ensuring authentic Italian craftsmanship reaches discerning Spanish and international palates.
