Fine Chocolate Spread
Slitti - Milk Chocolate Spread - Latte Riccosa
Great Taste Award-winner 2025
Origin & Craftsmanship
Made by Slitti in Tuscany, Italy, Riccosa is a premium milk chocolate hazelnut spread that’s crafted from just a few high-quality ingredients. It uses Tonda Gentile Trilobata hazelnuts from the Langhe (51%) plus fine milk chocolate to deliver a smooth, fragrant cream. Slitti distinguishes this spread by using real cocoa butter and selecting beans with great flavor, rather than relying on filler or lower-grade oils.
Flavor Profile
Riccosa offers a rich, creamy profile: toasted hazelnut upfront, mellow milk-chocolate sweetness, subtle vanilla, and just enough cocoa to give depth. The texture is silky and spreadable, without being oily — it feels indulgent but refined.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Spread a generous layer of Riccosa on warm toast, fresh brioche, or pancakes and let the roasted hazelnut aroma come through first. Taste it slowly so you feel the creamy milk chocolate and gentle vanilla undertones, with the cocoa adding just the right touch of depth. Pair it with a mild coffee — like a latte or cappuccino — to compliment its sweetness, or a nutty oolong tea to highlight the hazelnut notes. For dessert pairings, try it with fresh berries or sliced banana, or use it as a dip for biscotti or shortbread to add texture and contrast.
Summary
The Riccosa Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Spread is Slitti’s signature take on the classic hazelnut-chocolate combo, elevated by real hazelnuts, quality chocolate, and artisan craftsmanship. It’s luxurious, aromatic, and indulgent — perfect when you want something richer than regular chocolate spread but still smooth, accessible, and delicious.
We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.
How We Protect Chocolate in Transit
Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.
25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging
30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack
35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs
Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve
We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.
Estimated Delivery Times
Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.
Customs and Duties
Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.
If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.
Orders With Pre-Order Items
An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.
If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.
Damage, Melting and Delays
We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.
If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.
Delivery to Specific Countries
For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

Contains dairy
Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.
To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.
On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
