New Products for the Autumn-Winter Season: Pralines, Snacks, Nougat, Spreads and Chocolate Coins

Several new products are in the pipeline at Pernigotti SpA for the upcoming autumn-winter season. The historic confectionery group from Novi Ligure, in the province of Alessandria, has presented its new products to the sales network, with launches planned from October onwards, as well as for Halloween, Christmas, and Epiphany.

The first new launch under the Pernigotti brand will be Scrigni, a line of pralines with a crisp dark chocolate shell and a soft filling, available in Pistachio and Tiramisù flavours. The Gemme line, the original spherical pralines with a soft filling, will also be enriched with a new Mango flavour. The new Pernigotti Snacks will also hit the shelves for the impulse segment, available in six variants: Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Pistachio, Tiramisù, Raspberry, and Hazelnut.

More new products are also being prepared for the upcoming Christmas season. Pernigotti’s line of nougats and mini nougats will be expanded with two new references coated in dark chocolate and almonds, while the Pepitas line will welcome a new milk chocolate bar with salted caramelised almonds. The spreadable creams will also be relaunched, with new recipes in Cremino, Classic Gianduia, and Dark Gianduia flavours, and jars featuring new labels.

Several new products are also arriving for the Walcor brand. Fun Halloween products will be available on shelves, along with new chocolate coins featuring highly appealing licences such as Kuromi, Hello Kitty, Brainrot, Barbie, Hot Wheels, and Peanuts. Advent calendars with Brainrot and Minions licences will also be distributed. Finally, the must-have Befana stockings will feature Yu-Gi-Oh!, Animal Crossing, Kuromi, Brainrot, Hello Kitty, Looney Tunes, Peanuts, UNO, and NERF.

“We have worked on developing several segments of the chocolate category in which we already operate, introducing new flavour variants and new product lines,” said Stefania Distefano, Commercial Confectionery Italy Director at Pernigotti. “Our goal is to broaden our consumer base and consolidate our market position. At the same time, the company has further strengthened its strategy by expanding its licensing portfolio with new prestigious collaborations from the worlds of entertainment and design, alongside our already established partnerships.”
