What to bring home from Turin

After savoring the discreet elegance and cultural richness of the city, it is natural to want to take home an authentic memory of Turin — for yourself or as a gift. The city is generous in flavors, refined objects, and craft traditions that speak of its deep identity.

Here are some typical ideas for a Turin souvenir that truly reflects the territory:

Gianduiotti

Iconic chocolates from Turin, boat-shaped, made with chocolate and PGI hazelnuts from the Langhe. Perfect to give as a gift… or to finish before heading back.

Hazelnuts from Piedmont PGI

Crisp, fragrant, and intense in flavor, they are considered among the best in the world. They can be found roasted, chocolate-covered, or in elegant vacuum-packed boxes.

Hazelnut spreads

Beyond the famous Nutella, born in the Langhe, Turin offers small artisanal productions of very high quality, often with an extremely high hazelnut content.

Bicerin (liqueur)

An alcoholic version inspired by the historic Turin hot drink made of coffee, chocolate, and cream. An elegant bottle with a rich, enveloping taste.

Vermouth from Turin

Born here in the 18th century, it is a herb-flavored wine that has made a comeback in the most refined cocktail bars. Historic labels such as Carpano, Cocchi, and Martini produce classic and premium versions.

Typical Piedmont cheeses

Such as Castelmagno, Toma, or Raschera, often sold vacuum-packed in markets or specialty shops, ideal for a taste of the mountains.

Books and antique prints

Turin is a city of publishers and bookstores: a fine edition, a vintage print, or an unusual guide are elegant and lightweight gifts to take home.

Handmade leather or paper accessories

In the workshops of the historic center or the Quadrilatero, you can find hand-bound notebooks, leather keychains, wallets, or locally made bags.

Turin coffee

Whole beans or ground coffee from historic roasteries such as Vergnano or Costadoro, perhaps paired with an espresso cup in Piedmont ceramic.

Paste di Meliga

Crumbly biscuits made with corn flour and butter, typical of Piedmont tradition. Perfect with coffee or paired with a glass of sweet wine, they are a simple but delicious souvenir.
