Based in Italy, Marco Colzani operates under the name Laboratorio di Marco Colzani S.r.l., an artisanal workspace dedicated to the meticulous transformation of raw ingredients. This is not a mass production facility but rather a specialized laboratory where the focus remains on small-batch integrity. Colzani represents a modern wave of Italian makers who prioritize technical precision alongside a deep respect for the agricultural roots of their ingredients.
As a dedicated bean-to-bar maker, Colzani follows a philosophy of radical simplicity. His process is designed to strip away the unnecessary, resulting in chocolate that is described as simple and natural. By controlling every step from the raw bean to the final bar, he achieves a sensory profile that highlights the specific nuances of the cacao. The texture and flavor reflect an uncompromising approach to purity, avoiding the heavy processing often found in industrial chocolate.
Ethical sourcing and transparency are pillars of the Colzani laboratory. The maker utilizes direct trade practices to source raw materials, ensuring a closer connection to the farmers and the land. This approach allows for a focus on quality and sustainability that aligns with his goal of producing honest, unadulterated food. By bypassing traditional commodity chains, the laboratory maintains a clear line of sight from the tropical plantation to the finished product in Italy.
