Majani 1796 s.p.a. awarded with DolciSalati&Consumi Awards 2019
16 April 2019
Majani 1796 S.p.A awarded at Cibus Connect during the ceremony DolciSalati & Consumi Awards in two categories: charity initiative, with Dolce Soccorso Crimino and special product innovation award, with Tisana degli Dei.
The important project Crimino was born in collaboration with the Italian Red Cross: for every Dolce Soccorso case sold, consisting of 4 Fiat cremini, Majani donated 60 cents to the purchase of defibrillators (AEDs) for Elderly Centers throughout the country.
Tisana degli Dei was created by the Bolognese Company to offer a product with all the flavor of cocoa, vegan, totally free of calories, sugars, lactose, fats and gluten. Made with 100% “fine de aroma” cocoa peel, it is consumed like a leaf tea: just let it brew for a few minutes in boiling water.
These awards of excellence assigned by Tespi Mediagroup and attributed by a qualified jury of buyers of Gd and Do as well as by prominent operators in the food sector, have once again seen the protagonist of the historic Bolognese chocolate company, which has been producing for over 220 years its “from bean to bar” specialties, according to the traditional method.
Mrs. Barbara Orofalo, Majani Marketing and Sales Manager, received the award.

The Fiat Classico Cremino is the great protagonist of this special cocktail created by the barman Marco Stefanelli on the occasion of the special "Chocolate and Spirits" tasting held at the Women's Day at Eataly Bologna Ambasciatori and dedicated to all lovers of the velvety texture of the first and original 4-layer "bonbon" created in 1911 to celebrate the launch of the Fiat Tipo 4.
The intense aroma of coffee is combined in the glass with the creaminess of almond syrup, offering a unique and unforgettable taste experience.
To make this cocktail, you need:
- 60 ml coffee or amaretto liqueur

- 1 cup of espresso coffee
- Ice enough to fill one half of the shaker
for preparation:
- a glass or a flute
- a jigger
- a shaker
- a strainer
- a small colander with metal links
here is how to proceed:
- hem the rim of the glass with a soft creamy sauce, spreading it with a teaspoon. Store it in a blast chiller for at least 30 minutes
- measure, using the jigger, the right quantities of coffee liqueur, almond syrup, espresso coffee and then pour them into the shaker
- fill the other side of the shaker with ice
- close and shake vigorously for a few seconds
- open the shaker and strain the mixture with the strainer, using a metal mesh strainer to prevent small pieces of ice from passing.
A fantastic cocktail to celebrate the arrival of summer!
