Modica chocolate with pistachio

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