ARUNTAM (Italy)

Aruntam – Sensory Chocolate is an Italian craft bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in San Giuliano Milanese, near Milan, founded by Pia Rivera. The project began after Rivera’s experience with cacao in Ecuador and officially launched its first chocolate collection, I Volti del Mondo, in 2017.

Aruntam focuses on Specialty Cacao, selecting rare, traceable beans for their genetic purity and complex aromatic profiles. The chocolate is produced in the company's own organically certified laboratory, where the team controls the entire process from bean selection through roasting, grinding, conching and tempering. Their approach is deliberately minimalist, aiming to preserve as much as possible of the natural character of each cacao.
