Bicerin is Turin's layered coffee, chocolate and fior di latte drink, served in a small handle-less glass. Invented in 1763 at Caffe Al Bicerin on Piazza della Consolata.
Bicerin evolved from the 18th-century bavareisa, a fashionable mix of coffee, chocolate, milk and syrup served in large glasses. By the early 19th century three variants existed: pur e fiur (coffee and milk), pur e barba (coffee and chocolate) and 'n poc 'd tut (a little of everything). The third won, taking its name from the small handle-less bicerin glass. The recipe at Caffe Al Bicerin remains a contractually-guarded secret in 2026.
