Donna Elvira Orange PGI Modican Chocolate Bar, 70g Clearance

This PGI Modican chocolate bar from Donna Elvira is flavoured with grated orange peel. Let it melt on your tongue to experience the bold flavour of Colombian cocoa. The bright, tangy taste of orange works beautifully with the bittersweet chocolate. 

Enjoy a square or two after dinner with espresso or Italian liqueurs. You can also melt it in milk to make an indulgent hot chocolate. Simmer it on the hob and whisk gently until the chocolate is completely dissolved.

Modican PGI chocolate is made using ancient Aztec methods. These techniques were brought to Sicily by the Spanish in the 16th century. Stone ground and cold pressed, the chocolate has a rich flavour and grainy texture.

The grains are due to the fact the chocolate is processed at very low temperatures, so the sugar crystals never fully dissolve.

Modican chocolate is the first in Europe to receive the PGI mark (Protected Geographical Indication). PGI certification is awarded to products with a unique quality linked to their geographical origin.

About Donna Elvira

Donna Elvira produces bean-to-bar chocolate in Modica, Sicily. Founder Elvira Roccasalva is inspired by recipes written by pastry masters in Sicilian convents. The company sources prized cocoa varieties from Colombia, Peru, Mexico and Madagascar. The range includes single origin bars, PGI Modican chocolate, nougats and marmalades. The exquisite flavours will delight the palate of any chocolate connoisseur.

Please note: You may notice a white patina on the surface of the chocolate. This natural occurrence, known as cocoa butter bloom, and is common in minimally processed chocolate. Since these gorgeous bars are not over-refined and contain no added cocoa butter or lecithin, the cocoa butter from the beans may rise to the surface over time. This is not a flaw, but a sign of the chocolate’s purity and craftsmanship. It does not affect the flavour or quality in any way. As the chocolate is roughly ground, rest assured this texture is also expected.

Store in a cool and dry place, away from heat sources.
