Modica IGP orange zest chocolate bar
The orange peel makes the classic Modica chocolate bar even more delicious, not only because chocolate and orange are exceptional flavors, but also because the grainy texture of the chocolate pairs well with the crunchiness of the peel. The results are surprisingly rustic. The peel chosen by Luchino comes from the cultivation of Sicilian oranges, a typical fruit of the Mediterranean region. This bar stimulates the senses and is the perfect way to end a meal.

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from potential damage. It also plays an equally important role in the immune system, skin health, and bone well-being.
