In honor of our italianCioccolata Calda find, we'll be exploring unique, exotic and delicious finds in one of the most romantic areas of the world, more to come, but just for starters:
FOR HIM
1.The Sienese Palio, the big race in the Piazza del Campo, Sienna takes place on the 2nd of July and 16th of August each year.
2.THE REAL EXCALIBUR is in Tuscany, between Monticiano (Siena) and Chiusdino at S.Galgano Abbey!
3.Checking out the David, in Florence (to see how he measures up, of course!)
FOR HER
1.Wine tasting at Ruffino or in Montepulciano followed by a fresh, romantic dinner at a local restaurant.
2.Take a bath in the Etruscan thermals at Saturnia, perfectly set in the hilly landscape typical of the Maremma.

The first sip of the real thing, so thick and viscous it pours ever so slowly from the tip of your spoon is intoxicating. Not too sweet, not too bitter and so warm and comforting you feel immediately transported to an Italian Cafe on a relaxing afternoon. The purist will enjoy is straight while sweets junkies may choose a topper of flavouring or a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of chocolate shavings.
This great European, cold-weather tradition is becoming common in Australian cafes, but is yet to be found in the US. Cameo's Ciobar is a fabulous instant brand, but not yet distributed in the US. So after some searching TTC has found Musetti Ciok which can be purchased in the US through the site above.
A drink from heaven, Musetti Ciok is thick, creamy, gourmet, simply delicious, and is made from only the finest, pure Dutch cocoa. Whether using a saucepan or the steam arm of your cappuccino machine, Musetti Ciok will produce a luxurious hot chocolate every time. The 5-envelope packaging is a perfect fit for the needs of your household.
