Sunday, March 7, at the conclusion of Chocolate Dolomites 2010, was officially certified the record of achievement of the highest building of chocolates ever made the world record previously held by a Belgian chocolatier.
The copy of the bell tower of San Marco in pure "Ariba" white chocolate in fact it is 7 meters and 96 centimeters high, surpassing the previous record by more than 30 centimeters. To test himsef in the enterprise, Mirco Della Vecchia have used more than ten tons of pure white chocolate came from the best handicraft producers in Ecuador. The enormous volume of cocoa was processed in a special tanker for food products that in the recent days has brought the liquefied cocoa to Auronzo di Cadore. 
Here, the melted chocolate was poured into a special 8 meters high mold with a square base of 1.20 meters, where it is solidified to form a single large block of chocolate.
Once solidified, the mold was dismantled and it is now time to shape the big block of chocolate.

Mirco Della Vecchia is not new to ventures like that. Infact, the chocolatier of the Dolomites is the holder of three consecutive records, all related chocolate constructions. One of them is still preserved, under a special glass case at the City of Auronzo di Cadore. The work represents the Three Peaks of Lavaredo and is officially the heaviest chocolate sculpture ever attempted before.
