Do you like Chocolate? So you have to enjoy the “Modica chocolate”

-->

When somebody asks me which region can visit in Italy, I suggest him always Sicily, because I love Sicily! You can understand there how more cultures could live together making the most of their diversities and how people adapted their needs to the particular habitat. This is why Sicily has became a very special region rich in every natural and artistic resource.
In this “concert of cultures and nature” cannot miss the most ancient tradition of production of the “drug” very loved of Aztecs, chocolate!
The most original chocolate comes indeed from Sicily and exactly from Modica, that joined to Alicante, has preserved this ancient tradition coming from Spain. In fact during the XV - XVI centuries Modica was a spanish county, and in that time it learnt to produce chocolate and that process has always been the same until today.
I find this “travel story” (from Aztecs to Spanish and then to Sicilian) of these choco-recipes really fascinating.
This is one more reason to go to enjoy this wonderful “world”!
