We have chosen to conduct our research while remaining strictly within the boundaries of traditional PGI Modican chocolate production.<\/p>\n
We believe that this very method gives the bean-to-bar method the benefits of a simple, essential process: we are facing raw cocoa and by processing it cold, without conching, we have the opportunity to explore its true characteristics, capturing the small and large di\ufb00erences between one bean and another.<\/p>\n

The PGI Mark<\/h3>\n
A result that represents great pride, to protect the city’s great tradition.<\/p>\n
For us, the substantial added value is also represented by the fact that ours is so far the only chocolate in Modica in which one hundred per cent of the production comes from a transformation process that begins with the cocoa beans<\/strong>, and the judgments of qualified international juries on our products confirm the value of this choice year after year.<\/p>\n
