Modica chocolate: a sweet finish for Easter lunch.

We are on the threshold of the holy Easter, we have left behind Palm Sunday and at home, chocolate eggs and typical Easter sweets, such as Colomba or Pigna are starting to abound. However, let’s not forget a product that can truly make a difference at the end of opulent meals with family or friends: a bar of delicious Modica chocolate!

At the end of a good opulent meal with many courses, as is customary in Southern Italy, savoring some dark chocolate from Modica can become a sublime experience, perfect to conclude beautifully! The real cherry on top, one could say. Nothing better than a bar of this chocolate to accompany a good coffee, or it can reach high levels of emotions if nibbled and paired with sweet white wines, perhaps based on Moscato, or a Passito Bianco IGT Veneto. The top choice would be an aged rum in barrique!

Modica Chocolate: pairings

The Modica chocolate is truly unique in the world for its consistency and elegance and can also find various other gourmet applications. Did you know that Modica chocolate can also be crumbled over mushroom risottos to enhance their woodland aroma? It can also be used to enrich roasts, meat dishes, or it can be crumbled and included in the filling of big meatballs. The crumbs can be used to decorate cakes and desserts based on cream or whipped cream ice cream. This chocolate is fantastic even in appetizers together with a good robust red wine and aged cheeses.

We at Spaghetti e Mandolino have a truly special Modica chocolate, that of Sabadì, which has won the Tavoletta d’Oro as the best Modica chocolate for five consecutive years, a gem of Italian cocoa craftsmanship nestled between stones and sea in Ragusa. A chocolate that tells us the story of Simone Sabaini, a Veronese who arrived in Sicily and became “captivated” by this land and, with new spiritual energy, gives a meaningful direction to his life by establishing an award-winning business. Sun, sea, wind, and sun-baked earth are the founding elements of this extraordinary chocolate-flavored project.

Modica Chocolate: organic, vegan, gluten-free

The Modica chocolate by Sabadì, entirely vegan and gluten-free, offers extraordinary pairings with the most ancestral Sicilian land and nature. The wild fennel that tastes of the sea, the sweet sea salt from Trapani, the Late Mandarin of Ciaculli, the fragrant Interdonato Lemon that grows between the black crevices at the foothills of the great Etna volcano and basks in all the beauty of the Taormina sea. These are highly sought-after products, many of which are Slow Food Presidia and all organic.

Simone has combined the highest quality of the product with the Italian style in design and packaging. His packages are indeed a narrative, a graphic storytelling of what they contain. Pure emotions are the result of tasting Sabadì chocolate.

Let yourself be conquered by the emotions of this great chocolate with your eyes closed, perhaps listening to the scents of Sicily and the sounds of the sea.
