Exceptional Ingredients
Since 1992, we have selected only the finest raw materials, ensuring excellence across the entire supply chain. At the base of every creation there are Cocoa and Hazelnut.
For hazelnuts, we use exclusively Piemonte Hazelnut IGP—Tonda Gentile Trilobata delle Langhe—considered among the best in the world. We select only the most prized size, caliber 14. Our hazelnuts are cultivated in the Langhe under the strict guidelines of the Consortium for Protected Geographical Indication. We purchase them directly from trusted growers, who provide us with raw, shelled nuts that are then cleaned, roasted, crushed, and refined in our own facility.
All our Chocolate-based products are strictly gluten free.
Packaging and Materials
We are especially attentive to the materials we use to package our products.
Packaging must protect the chocolate from damage during transport, ensure customer safety, and be as recyclable as possible.
In the past year, we used approximately 47,000 kg of packaging materials, of which over 97% were recyclable. In choosing plastics, we prioritize monomaterials, which offer significantly higher recyclability.
Looking ahead, our goal is to further reduce our environmental impact by making our processes even more sustainable and innovating with responsibility.
Our People
La Perla di Torino is a company with a strong female presence: in 2024, women represented 76% of our 38 permanent employees. In terms of the gender pay gap, an analysis of average salaries by job grade across the organisation found no gender-based pay disparity.
As part of our commitment to professional development, a total of 250 hours of training were delivered in 2025, averaging 4.63 hours per employee, reflecting our ongoing investment in developing skills and supporting the long-term growth of our people.
Over the years, La Perla di Torino has championed a business model centred on people, continuous learning and social inclusion, creating opportunities for individuals from a range of vulnerable backgrounds. Several of these initiatives have led to permanent employment, reflecting a long-term commitment built on care, responsibility and shared value.
Energy
Energy is one of the main indicators we track as part of our environmental analysis.
Our production facility on Lungo Dora Pietro Colletta 81 is fully electrified and does not use other forms of energy.
The only exception is our Via Catania 9 location, where thermal energy is used solely for heating purposes.
Thanks to the “Verde Dentro” certification provided by our energy partner, we can confirm that 100% of the electricity we use is sourced from hydroelectric plants.
This allows us to operate with an 80% share of renewable energy, significantly contributing to reducing CO₂ emissions and supporting a more sustainable energy model.
