Discover our history

Rooted in tradition, looking to the future

Our identity is deeply rooted in the Italian confectionery tradition, built on passion, quality, and savoir-faire passed down through generations. Today, this heritage lives on through the Pernigotti Group’s brands, in products that embody the excellence of Made in Italy and the ability to innovate while respecting tradition.

For this reason, Made in Italy is not merely a place of production, but a distinctive value that guides every decision: from flavor research and recipe development to new product innovation and packaging design.

CHOCOLATE

Our chocolate is born from a special combination: the careful selection of the purest ingredients and the expert craftsmanship of our chocolatiers, who work every day to make each product unique and unmistakable. But behind the magic of a memorable moment of sweetness lies a promise of absolute safety. That is why we guarantee rigorous controls at every stage from the ingredients and production process to the finished product also working with specialised external laboratories. Because, for us, true quality is built on care, so that we can offer you chocolate that is always delicious, impeccable and safe.

NOUGAT

Nougat is at the heart of our family celebrations. Whether classic, soft, coated or in bite-sized pieces, every recipe is a small masterpiece of excellence to us. Our secret? We use only honey, completely avoiding glucose-fructose syrup. It is a choice rooted in pure quality, created to bring you an authentic, delicious and crumbly flavour, perfect for capturing the magic of Christmas.

HAZELNUTS

We carefully select the finest hazelnuts, sourced from Italy and abroad, depending on the recipe we wish to create. Once they arrive at our historic production facility in Novi Ligure, they undergo a meticulous roasting and refining process. This is the secret to unlocking the aroma and fragrance that make every taste truly unique. Naturally, our hazelnuts are also subject to rigorous checks at every stage, because the magic of exceptional flavour always begins with a promise of absolute safety.

POWDER AND PASTE PREPARATIONS

We work alongside master gelato makers to enhance their craft every day. We offer premium-quality ingredients made from carefully selected raw materials and safeguarded by rigorous controls at every stage from sourcing and processing to the finished product. Because to create gelato that delivers a truly enchanting experience, every detail must be simply impeccable.

FROM ITALY TO THE WORLD

International expansion is a key strategic priority, pursued by strengthening long-established import channels and entering new markets through product portfolio innovation. The international growth strategy follows a two-track approach: developing proprietary brands and delivering flexible private-label and co-manufacturing solutions tailored to specific local needs.

Further confirming its institutional and industrial standing, Pernigotti is also a member of the Association of Historic Trademarks of National Interest, a network that brings together companies recognized for their contribution to Italy’s manufacturing heritage.
