Modica black chocolate

Modica chocolate is a product exclusively made in the town of Modica, in the Ragusa province. It is said that the recipe comes from the Aztec tribe, imported in Sicily from 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 and oils are added. These features make the Modica chocolate incredibly tasty, healthy and with unique flavours and texture. Cosaruci produces the traditional Modica chocolate following the old recipe, that means using 70% of cocoa. The colour of Modica chocolate is shiny and its intensity depends on the amount of cocoa used, its texture is grainy." "
