Prickly Pear Cioccolato di Modica PGI chocolate, 100 g

Perhaps one of the most Sicilian varieties. The fico d'India, or prickly pear fruit, is almost part of the island's landscape: you can find it everywhere on dry, sun-drenched hillsides and along the roads.

The sweet, fruity, and delicately acidic aroma of the prickly pear pairs with dark chocolate containing at least 50% cocoa. Alongside the darker, intense character of the cocoa, fresh, fruity notes emerge, resulting in an unusually Mediterranean chocolate.

The rustic, grainy texture of Cioccolato di Modica is no coincidence: during the low-temperature production process, the sugar does not melt completely, and its tiny crystals partially remain in the finished chocolate, providing a pleasantly crunchy experience.

The world’s only PGI-certified chocolate; cold-processed, vegan, and naturally gluten- and lactose-free.

If you would like to choose a truly unusual flavor from the Ciokarrua selection, this is an excellent candidate – it is hard to imagine a more Sicilian pairing than this.
