Bianca Bio
by Agostoni
Impact
A White Hanno after the white pet elephant so named by Pope Leo who was a member of the wealthy & powerful Medici family, & one of the most extravagant Renaissance pontiffs. His pontificate occurred right around the time that Euros were first discovering chocolate which had been the sole provenance of the Americas prior to then.
Hanno quickly became a favorite of the papal court, housed between St. Peter’s Basilica & the Apostolic Palace. Pasquale Malaspina noted that Hanno could dance & genuflect in reverence to the Pope.
The elephant's epitaph, written by the Pope himself, reads in part: And in my brutish breast they perceived human feelings.
Consumers may perceive likewise from this White since it tastes of baby burps.

Quality 10.7 / 20
"Bio" in this case stands for bio-hazard rather than organically grown. It in no way atones for the non-organic sugar bomb called Valtellina, another White gleek which Agostoni concocts.
The kind of stuff that drools out of a gagging baby's mouth... by the quart, captured in specimen cups, then placed in molds to set.
Repulsive.
Reconfirms that Agostoni, an otherwise competent & professional company, could care less about White Chocolate except to satisfy pastry chefs looking purchase all their couverture (Dark - Milk - White) from a single supplier.
