Modica IGP Chocolate, a symbol of the baroque city, is the world’s first chocolate to receive Protected Geographical Indication status. Often referred to as “Modica’s Black Gold,” it possesses unique and distinctive characteristics that make it unparalleled and inimitable.
Dolceria Corallo celebrates the most renowned recipe of Modica, a simple yet invaluable recipe. For three generations, every chocolate bar has been crafted with artisanal care and passion, preserving a timeless tradition.
Combining the bold flavor of Modica chocolate with the traditional Sicilian confectionery tastes, Corallo has created an extensive range with over 14 flavor variants, from classic and traditional ones like vanilla and cinnamon to more unique and sophisticated options such as ginger, jasmine, coconut, and licorice.
The processing technique remains true to the methods passed down by the Spanish. The traditional cold processing involves heating the cocoa mass to a temperature of 40°C. At this point, sugar is added: this temperature allows the sugar crystals to remain intact within the paste, giving the final product its characteristic rough and granular texture. The mixture is then poured into tin molds (known as "Ianni" in dialect), which are tapped to release air bubbles and ensure even solidification of the mixture.
