THE EGG is a two plus pound Valenza Chocolatier masterpiece honoring Italian Easter traditions. In Italy, there are no Easter egg hunts, no marshmallow Peeps and definitely no jelly beans. Instead, there are chocolate eggs! As a symbol of rebirth and renewal, the chocolate eggs started becoming popular across Europe at the end of the 19th century as chocolate became more affordable. In Italy, the tradition took off after World War II when families had a little extra spending money, post wartime deprivations. Small to massive, beautifully decorated and wrapped chocolate Easter eggs are considered Italians' food gift during Easter season. Each one comes with a surprise inside. It can be as simple as a small gift to as personal as an engagement ring!

Growing up in the Valenza household, each Easter Amy Jo's Father would give her Mother a large chocolate egg filled with assorted chocolates, affectionately known as THE EGG. To honor Amy Jo's Italian heritage and family tradition, she has created her own version of THE EGG. At seven inches long and 13 inches around, this 63% dark chocolate work of art appears as if it is filled with a delicious assortment of mixed nuts and dried fruit. In keeping with the spirit of the Easter Egg surprise however, the exterior is an illusion because in reality THE EGG is filled with over a half pound of assorted bite size chocolates from Valenza Chocolatier's complete collection (mini Nib Bar, solid mini foiled wrapped Eggs in four flavors, truffles, bonbon eggs, and more). Sorry, no surprise engagement rings!

Make THE EGG your table centerpiece. When it's time for dessert, have your family and friends gather around to carefully cut THE EGG. Step back and watch everyone dive into the chocolate goodness and indulge in the broken shell pieces. A new family tradition will be created!

Exterior design of THE EGG is inspired by the amazing Chef Paul De Bondt in Pisa, Italy.
