More about Modican Chocolate…This stone ground, cold-processed chocolate is made by melting the hand ground cocoa beans, adding sugar and one typical flavour such as pistachio, orange, chilli pepper, Sicilian sea salt or vanilla. The ingredients are mixed together roughly and magic is served up: the temperature is not sufficiently high to melt the sugar, which remains in its crystal form, but it does preserve flavours and nutrients.When the temperature falls to 30 °C the mixture is poured into moulds and cooled. It contains no lecithin, emulsifier or milk like most modern chocolate. The finished product has an amazing grainy texture which melts in your mouth, it is dark chocolate but not bitter.
