Vanini presents its autumn-winter 2026 innovations with single-origin bars and Christmas limited editions

For the autumn-winter 2026 season, Vanini, the premium brand of Icam Cioccolato, presents a selection that invites consumers to explore cocoa through aromas, flavours and textures.

The Anniversary Collection

Vanini's new Anniversary Collection offers three dark chocolate bars with 80% cocoa, dedicated to Madagascar, Ecuador and Jamaica, each conveying a distinct aromatic identity through ingredients and combinations capable of enhancing its characteristics.

The collection celebrates Icam's 80 years of experience in cocoa culture and invites consumers to look beyond the percentage, allowing themselves to be guided by their own preferences. The spicy notes of Madagascar, the fruity notes of Ecuador and the roasted profile of Jamaica become three tasting journeys to explore one mouthful at a time.

The packaging also helps make each origin recognisable: inspired by the flora and fauna of the countries of origin, the packs stand out through different colour worlds and invite consumers to collect the entire range. To complete the experience, a sensory map helps consumers navigate the aromatic characteristics of the three recipes, making tasting a moment of discovery also for those wishing to approach the world of single-origin cocoa.

Single-Origin Madagascar Dark Chocolate 80%

Made with cocoa from small, selected farms in the Sambirano region of north-west Madagascar, one of the most renowned "Fine of Flavour" origins recognised by the International Cocoa Organization (Icco), this bar stands out for its refined spicy aromatic profile. The cocoa notes intertwine with those of chai tea, a blend of spices that enhances its complexity, while caramel crystals add crunchiness and delicate sweet, toasted nuances.

Single-Origin Ecuador Dark Chocolate 80%

This product expresses an elegant fruity and floral aromatic profile, characterised by notes of ripe banana, pineapple, mango, pear and apple. Honey harmoniously accompanies the evolution of the aromatic notes, while almond pieces add crunchiness and a pleasant lingering taste, helping to make the tasting experience even richer and more layered.

Single-Origin Jamaica Dark Chocolate 80%

A true rarity in the premium cocoa landscape, the new Single-Origin Jamaica comes and represents an absolute innovation in the retail channel: Vanini is in fact the first player to offer a single-origin bar made with cocoa from the island of Jamaica. The plants grow in mixed forest gardens alongside pimento, cinnamon and coffee trees, naturally developing a characteristic roasted aromatic profile. Vanilla pods help harmonise the cocoa notes, making the sensory journey more balanced and enveloping.

The Tasting Experience

Alongside the growing demand for premium and origin products, there is a desire to experience chocolate as a surprising and engaging taste experience. With the Tasting Experience range, Vanini interprets this trend through recipes capable of combining familiarity and innovation, transforming iconic flavours and much-loved ingredients into original and satisfying tasting moments. For 2026, the range is enriched with three products designed to win over consumers seeking new flavours, confirming the brand's ability to combine recipe creativity with a focus on quality.

Tasting Experience Limited Edition Milk Chocolate with Cookies and Dark Chocolate Chips

A creation that combines the creaminess of milk chocolate with the crunchiness of cookies and the intensity of dark chocolate chips. The result is a bar full of contrasts and textures capable of transforming one of the most magical moments of the year into an indulgent and convivial tasting experience.

Tasting Experience Limited Edition White Chocolate with Nougat Flavour

An original reinterpretation of a great classic of the Italian Christmas confectionery tradition. The soft, enveloping notes of white chocolate meet the characteristic taste of nougat, creating a bar that evokes familiar flavours and moments of sharing, in line with the growing demand for products capable of evoking the positive emotions typical of moments of joy and conviviality.

Tasting Experience Double Lemon Cake

The Tasting Experience Double range is expanding with the new Lemon Cake product, an exclusive recipe that brings one of the most iconic desserts of home-baking tradition into the world of chocolate. The bar combines a double layer of lemon-flavoured white chocolate with biscuit pieces and milk chocolate, offering a multisensory experience that faithfully reproduces the taste and sensations of the original dessert.
