Modica chocolate with Marsala wine

Cosaruci offers the Modica chocolate following the traditional recipe and with the addition of a small glass of Marsala wine, added to the cocoa dough at a cold temperature. The colour of Modica chocolate is shiny and its intensity depends on the amount of cocoa used, its texture is grainy. Modica chocolate is a product exclusively made in the town of Modica, in the Ragusa province. It is said that its recipe comes from the Aztec tribe and then brought to Sicily by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. The Modica chocolate, an extremely out of the ordinary product, has some important peculiarities: during production, the cocoa is not separated from the cocoa butter, but it is made into a liquid by heating it up. Another important element is that cane sugar is used and no vegetable fat or oils are added. These features make the Modica chocolate incredibly tasty, healthy and with unique flavours and texture. In this recipe, the famous Sicilian fortified wine is added to the chocolate; the Marsala wine gives the Modica chocolate a sweet note, typical of this wine.
