Product Description
We are pleased to introduce this luxurious chocolate bar, courtesy of the renowned Don Giuseppe Puglisi. Hailing from Modica (Sicily), Puglisi's chocolate bars are still made in the Aztec tradition, creating a rustic, brittle chocolate untainted by modern machinery and artificial flavorings. The chocolate's unique opaque patina comes from its cold production process which maintains the full flavor of each ingredient. This patina look is actually the normal appearance of the chocolate. Delicate looking and speckled with reddish blooms, the brittle chocolate literally crumbles upon disturbance. This texture has incredible mouthfeel appeal, and is the antithesis of the overtly creamy, mass-produced chocolate we are used to here in the US. The flavor has the rustic simplicity that many of Italy's cheeses are justly famous for. Thanks to a painstaking handmade manufacturing process, the quality of the ingredients themselves are allowed to shine through. A real discovery! Available in 8 flavors: Classic, Chili, Coffee, Cinnamon, Ginger, Bergamotto (Orange Essence), Pistachio, or Vanilla.

Casa Don Puglisi Modica chocolate May 31, 2008
Amazing burst of true flavor. Loved it. Addicted. Will order again and again....
best ever January 20, 2008
This incomparable dark chocolate dissolves on the tongue with a rich, yet almost fizzy, fullness. The texture is light and airy, unlike heavily cocoa-buttered bars. I discovered this treat in a health foods store in Chattanooga, TN, priced at $5.29 per bar. (Not sure why it's so much more expensive via the purveyor linked to Amazon.) Initially, I bought it for my Dad, a taciturn elder and chocolate connoisseur who surprised me by saying he really liked it. With that rare endorsement, I had to try it myself, and am hooked.

This stuff is what chocoholics go for. But Hersey's it ain't. I would hate for too many people to find out about it. I had rather keep it all for myself.
