The distinctive features of Modica chocolate

Moreover, Modica IGP chocolate has an intense and strong flavour, the result of using high quality ingredients such as cocoa from the best producers and cane sugar. Thanks to its millenary history and techniques handed down from generation to generation, Modica IGP chocolate is a gastronomic delicacy that embodies the authenticity and taste of the wonderful territory of Sicily.
