Pancracio arose from the vision of Pedro Alvarez an economist who has specialised in marketing, graphic designer and chocoholic. Having created hugely successful packaging and designs for others Pedro had always wanted to create something for himself where he could merge his different skills and expertise.
It was in New York, in the mid nineties on the high of a gourmet expresso wherePancracio started to take form.

Pedro began intensive research; trips, courses including a spell working in the famous Bruno Bakery in New York under the orders of chef Biaggio Settepanne where he gained both experience and weight but earned little money. The project grew in size and had to be housed in a drawer for a few years.

In 2003 Pedro decided to produce a limited edition of his best recipes for turrons and chocolate truffles to give to his family and friends and a few to sell. He made a lot of friends this way. The enthusiastic response and success of his efforts was unexpectedly fast and furious. In this way Pancracio, a small and very exclusive line in chocolates and other refined products, was born. The common denominators for all the products of this brand are high quality and outstanding design.
Pancracio is distributed at highly exclusive points of sale or through our online shop, www.pancracio.com

The creation of Pancracio could not have taken place without the close collaboration and support of family and friends, singling out two giants of graphic design: Massimo Vignelli of Vignelli Associates and Alexander Gelman of Design Machine.

Pedro is eternally grateful to all these people, especially to the team with whom he works every day.
