A 70% dark chocolate bar from Donna Elvira featuring rare Pure Nacional beans from the Marañón Canyon in Peru, crafted using the Modica cold method.
Donna Elvira is an artisan producer based in Modica, Italy, recognized for its commitment to the traditional Cioccolato di Modica PGI process. As a bean-to-bar specialist, the maker maintains control over the entire production cycle, from raw cacao bean to finished bar, ensuring the integrity of the specific geographic origin is preserved.
The bar utilizes the rare Pure Nacional cacao variety, sourced from the remote Marañón Canyon in Peru. The defining characteristic of this bar is the Modica method, a cold processing technique that avoids traditional conching. This ensures the sugar remains undissolved in the cocoa mass, resulting in a distinct, slightly granular texture. The flavor profile is defined by delicate floral and fruity notes, underpinned by a distinct hazelnut finish.
With a minimalist composition of only 70% cocoa mass and cane sugar, the bar highlights the natural qualities of the Peruvian beans.
