Modica chili pepper chocolate is a bar with a Mediterranean temperament, where the cocoa is not tamed by conching but remains pure, aromatic, and textured. Cold processing—a historic technique preserved in Modica—creates a grainy texture and a decisive break, with sugar crystals perceptible to the bite and a naturally satiny surface. Here, chili pepper is not a simple ingredient, but a sensory counterpoint: it arrives gradually, first as a spicy echo, then with a persistent, never aggressive, piquant heat, designed to dialogue with the noble bitterness of the cocoa.
The result is a lively, complex dark chocolate, capable of igniting the palate without unbalancing the taste.
