The hidden heart chocolate is handmade with tempered chocolate, filled with a variety of unique flavors using both local and imported ingredients. Each type has its own distinctive character, with some being surprisingly delightful.
For example, there is a chocolate called 'Cherry in Liquor,' which contains a whole French liquor-soaked cherry wrapped in 60% dark chocolate.

Besides chocolates, there are other products such as classic Milan-style fruit bread, original flavor toast, strawberry toast, and classic original butterfly pastry gift boxes. These are all highly recommended online.
