Le sleeve, che ne riproducono il colore e il motivo effetto traforato, ricoprono tutte le confezioni, chiuse da cordoncini in tinta con tag dedicata.

The ConTatto Easter egg comes in a single 130g format, in 70% dark chocolate. The external appearance, thanks to a processing with cocoa butter spray, recalls the textured effect of tuff, a material typical of the cave housing the restaurant. Inside the egg, a surprise that well represents the identity of the gastronomic establishment: two small white chocolate bars, with cave-aged salted lemon and cave-aged dehydrated salted capers.
