Lots of controversy over the price of Carlo Cracco's 2024 Easter egg. Let's find out together what could justify such a high cost (it's a high-level pastry shop, not a supermarket one)

Easter is approaching. On March 31st we will celebrate the most important religious celebration, including rites, traditions and symbols, including gastronomic ones. The chocolate egg with a surprise inside is certainly the most loved dessert. And not just from children. There are also luxury editions of what is a classic to unwrap on Sunday after a sumptuous lunch. For example Carlo Cracco's 2024 Easter egg. How much does it cost and how is it done? Is it worth all that money?

Perhaps not everyone knows that the chocolate egg was born in France: King Louis XIV commissioned the French chocolatier David Chaillou this particular gift. While the custom of finding a surprise inside comes from Fabergé's idea.

Pastry shops also make their own delicacies, which can also be personalized to make a welcome gift inside. Obviously there is no shortage of luxury proposals, from great Italian chefs dealing with personal reinterpretations of the typical Easter dessert.

For those looking for an exclusive gift to give or to be given to themselves, here it is chef Carlo Cracco has put its creations on sale for Easter, also available on the online shop.
