A very special dream car... in Belcolade chocolate
21 May 2008
Belcolade/Puratos Italy was contacted by the President of the ‘Club Pasticceri Italiani’, Mr. Antonio Vanacore. Following the passion of his Associates for chocolate, combined with the strong Italian passion for Formula 1 (especially for the Ferrari Team), they had a great idea of producing the F2008 entirely in chocolate (the Ferrari car which will compete in the Formula 1 Championship in 2008, which starts in the middle of March in Australia), in a 1/1 life-size scale.

The challenge seemed to be very hard from the outset (of course no mould for the car was available in the market), but Belcolade in Italy decided to support them with great enthusiasm. First of all with the delivery of the 2008kg of Belcolade chocolate needed for the realization of the car, but also with technical advice from our local Chocolate Technical Advisor who went several times to the laboratory where they produced the car.
After having overcome many technical issues finally the car was ready. The Club contacted the local Ferrari Club of Naples to organize a 3 day event which took place on the main square of Sorrento.
