In the province of Pisa, Alessio Tessieri has a factory where cocoa is processed: it is near the school of fine pastry and cookery that bears his name and welcomes a lucky few students

“Truly good dark chocolate is not bitter”: with these words Alessio Tessieri, founder of Noalya and active in the world of cocoa since 1997 as a grower and producer, **invites us to visit his chocolate factory**. It is in Ponsacco, in the province of Pisa, near the school of fine pastry and cookery that bears his name. It attracts ambitious young people from all over Italy, and over the years some from Brescia have passed through too.
