Modica chocolate with chilli

Cosaruci offers the Modica chocolate made with the traditional recipe and with an addition of spicy chilli, added to the cocoa dough at a cold temperature. The colour of Modica chocolate is shiny and its intensity depends on the amount of cocoa used and the texture is grainy. Modica chocolate is a product exclusively made in the town of Modica, in the Ragusa province. It is said that the recipe comes from the Aztec tribe and then brought to Sicily by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. Modica chocolate, an extremely out of the ordinary product, has some important peculiarities: during production, the cocoa is not separated from the cocoa butter, but it is made into a liquid by heating it up. Another important element is that cane sugar is used and no vegetable fat or oils are added. These features make the Modica chocolate incredibly tasty, healthy and with unique flavours and texture. In this recipe, spicy chilli is added to the chocolate, that gives a pleasant spicy sensation when consumed.
