Cioccolato di Modica - Peperoncino made by Dolceria Donna Elvira is a type of traditional chocolate from Modica, an ancient town in Sicily, Italy. This chocolate is known for its unique, grainy texture and is made following an age-old Aztec recipe that has been preserved in Modica.


The chocolate is cold-processed to maintain the distinct flavors and granular consistency. The "Peperoncino" variety includes a subtle yet noticeable infusion of chili pepper, which adds a delightful spiciness to the rich, dark chocolate. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors provides an exquisite and balanced taste experience.
