Chocolate has always been the typical artisan product of the Sicilian city: Modica chocolate has obtained the recognition of Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) from the European Union.
It is truly peculiar the artisanal processing phase of this artisanal delicacy, which is obtained from a particular “cold” processing of the chocolate and excludes the conching phase.

Modica chocolate is obtained from toasted and ground seeds and is heated to make it fluid. The cocoa mass is added and mixed with granulated or cane sugar, and spices such as vanilla, cinnamon, chilli pepper or ginger, or with lemon or orange peel.
A visit to the chocolate laboratory represents a valid opportunity to learn all the good secrets of the master chocolatiers and to taste the famous Modica chocolate and other delicious local specialities.
