Giansini is first and foremost the project of four young Belgians of Italian origin, passionate about Italy and its flavors, and in love with chocolate in all its forms. The project was born during a stay in Turin, when they visited the family chocolate factory. The magic happened immediately, and back in Belgium, the 4 protagonists were keen to introduce Oxicoa and Gran Torino chocolates to fans of the new "black gold".

Their range

Giansini offers quality chocolate, authentic and representative of Italian know-how. Its range includes products made with respect for the environment and its biodiversity.

On the other hand, Giansini also allows you to discover more typical and traditional products such as the famous Gianduiotto, a small chocolate recognizable by its particular shape that delights the most delicate palates and satisfies the cravings of the most gourmand.

Chocolate for your health

One of their objectives is to enable people who have been forced to eliminate chocolate from their diet to rediscover the pleasure of enjoying chocolate that is adapted to their needs:

• lactose-free
• little sugar
• gluten-free

All this, thanks to the various ingredients to be found in their range.

Piedmont hazelnut

The Piedmont hazelnut is particularly appreciated by the pastry industry for its quality parameters, such as the spheroidal shape of the kernel, its excellent taste and aroma after toasting, its ease of shelling and its long shelf life. For these reasons, this Italian hazelnut is recognized as the best in the world.

Hazelnuts are also known for their antioxidant and alkalizing properties. It is also an excellent source of manganese, copper, vitamin E, magnesium, iron, vitamin B1, etc.

Goji berries

Our body's billions of cells are under constant attack from free radicals. These harmful oxidants accelerate the aging process by destroying the body's cells. Goji is known as the "fruit of longevity". Its unique polysaccharide molecules and antioxidant properties prevent premature aging by fighting the damaging effects of free radicals throughout the body.

Goji berries are rich in amino acids, trace elements and minerals. These are rare in the foods we eat, yet they are essential to our heart, brain and nervous system.

These berries also help to detoxify the body, lower bad cholesterol, overcome autoimmune diseases, boost energy and strength, etc.

Pink Himalayan salt

Crystalline salt will restore the acid-base balance (blood PH) and act spectacularly on the discomfort caused by chronic gastric reflux. A powerful detoxifier (a property verified by urine analysis), it dissolves or dismantles harmful substances, toxins and waste present in the body.

This salt also helps to break down heavy metals such as mercury and lead over time.

Consuming it in water has a beneficial effect on health problems such as osteoarthritis, kidney stones, etc., because it enables our body to eliminate harmful deposits.

Finally, this Himalayan salt helps regulate intestinal transit.

Ulmo honey

The Ulmo flower resembles that of the Camellia. Its flavor is very fruity and flowery. Ulmo honey is said to have powerful healing and anti-bacterial properties, but will appeal above all to lovers of exotic tastes.

Having trouble falling asleep? Try a glass of warm milk with a tablespoon of honey. Honey has the ability to release insulin. This in turn stimulates tryptophan, a compound that makes us sleepy.

Drinking hot water with honey is also an excellent remedy to soothe your throat or calm your cough.

Turmeric

One of the main actions of this orange-yellow powder is to combat digestive disorders. "In addition to soothing upset stomachs, it optimizes disrupted bile functions, which can be the cause of constipation, and improves the quality of permeable intestinal mucosa," explains Christine Calvet, nutrition, fitness and health consultant. Consumed daily, turmeric reduces inflammation and has a preventive effect on ulcers.

In addition to its hepato-protective capacity, we shouldn't forget its other health benefits: powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-aging, anti-infectious, helps fight Alzheimer's and cancer, etc.

Ginger

Ginger combines extremely well with other spices such as Cinnamon and Turmeric (helps prevent cancer, powerful anti-inflammatory, digestion, cholesterol), which enhances Turmeric's anti-inflammatory and protective virtues.

Coupled with isoproterenol (a beta-agonist asthma medication), ginger improves bronchodilation, making it an interesting, side-effect-free alternative for people wishing to avoid taking chemicals for their asthma problems.

It is also highly effective for diabetics. In fact, if a diabetic consumes 3 grams of dried ginger powder for 30 days, he or she will see a significant reduction in triglycerides, blood sugar and overall cholesterol.

Rice milk

Rice milk has many benefits. In particular, it's extremely digestible (as opposed to cow's milk), and will be your best ally when your body doesn't want to ingest anything else (for example, in the event of gastroenteritis or indigestion).

Studies have shown that this milk is one of the least fatty. It contains just 1 gram of fat, compared with 100 grams of cow's milk.

As this milk is 100% plant-based, it is also suitable for vegans (people who don't consume any foods derived from animal production, such as cow's milk).

This component is also a real pleasure for people with hypercholesterolemia. Being of plant origin, it contains no cholesterol.

Stevia

Stevia's sweetening power is more than 300 times greater than that of sucrose, all without adding a single calorie.

It also has positive effects on our body at different levels:

• Diet: stevia is a natural sugar, making it easier for dieters;
• Obesity: this sweetener makes it possible to keep an eye on your weight and fight obesity;
• Diabetes: it is not a factor that increases glucose levels in our blood vessels;
• Tooth decay: stevia is thought to play a role in combating dental plaque.

Notre note:

To give you an idea, we have selected a number of criteria, which we have then graded and explained:

• Delivery time : 10/10
  Parcel sent on Friday 10.11 and received on Tuesday 14.11 (knowing that Saturday 11.11 was a public holiday)
• Customer service : 8/10
  The Giansini team responds quickly to messages on Facebook or by e-mail.
  Packaging quality : 9/10
  The package arrived in a cardboard box. Around the products, frigolite and bubble wrap were present to protect the products.
• Quality of product packaging : 7/10
  The chocolate bars are packaged in a plastic pouch. It's not clear whether this is environmentally friendly or not.
  The labels are in French and Dutch. They contain all the necessary information. From a purely visual point of view, it would be important for them to pay more attention to the cutting of their labels (on some, the first letter of a word is missing).
• Product quality : 8/10
  Giansini chocolates are a pleasure in the mouth. Having tasted them, we can reassure you that the more "specific" tastes are not strong in the mouth. Whether it's pistachio chocolate, turmeric chocolate, etc., the taste is very light, perhaps even a little too light at times?
• Recommended nutritional value(s) 2 squares of a bar (= +- 8.00 grams) or 1 piece of a sachet (= +- 9.50 grams)
  The ideal consumption of chocolate is 10 grams a day. It's important to indulge yourself, but don't overindulge.
