Salt chocolate

Salt chocolate bar – Handmade in Modica

Bonajuto’s salted chocolate bar is a masterpiece of Sicilian confectionery tradition. It features a granular structure, due to the inclusion of whole sugar grains within the cocoa mass, which is processed at low temperatures without the addition of cocoa butter or other foreign fats. The irregular surface with the appearance of cocoa butter is a typical feature of this artisanal process. But the real protagonist is the salt, which merges with the sugar creating a game of contrasts that is enhanced by the cocoa, giving the palate a unique and intense taste experience.
