Modica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered the cradle of European chocolate. I have been breathing it since I was a child and opening a chocolate shop had always been my dream.<\/p>

Today, in my laboratories, I have been producing the chocolate of Modica<\/a> for over 10 years<\/strong> according to the traditional recipe handed down from the Spanish and PGI regulations. I process our chocolate and other sweets according to tradition and still in an artisanal way. That is why each product<\/strong> is different and each one tells its own story.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The organic cacao comes from producer cooperatives in Peru, Venezuela, Tanzania, Ecuador and Madagascar<\/strong> and this cacao is the basis for the creation of unique raw chocolate<\/strong>.<\/p>

All the other ingredients are Sicilian and they are selected with equal care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
