FUN, unique and Intimate Chocolate making - Giuseppe and Vincenzo were excellent engaging hosts for our chocolate-making experience. We learned the process for small batch cacau from importing beans to eating bars. It was a fun and interesting afternoon in Modica the home of superb chocolate in Sicily. As we are biking through the Baroque region our homemade Cacau bars are the afternoon snack that gets us to the next village.

Great family experience! - We spent the afternoon with Giuseppe and Vincenzo right after the New Year and we really enjoyed it. We learned so much about the different beans coming from Africa vs S. America and the traditional chocolate making without butter as done in Modica. Getting hands on making our own chocolate bars and decorating with nuts and MMs etc was particularly rewarding as we are still enjoying the fruit of our work! Giuseppe and Vincenzo make it all entertaining and even have some comic duo energy between them that makes this experience even more fun ! Really memorable, definitely a must if you have teenage kids!

Great day in the chocolate lab! - Giuseppe, Vincenzo and Jessica provided a detailed, informative and fun experience in their chocolate lab. Our group had a great time learning about the chocolate making experience and the personal chocolate bars we made were an added benefit. If you want to learn about Modica chocolate, this is the tour to take.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE - Hilarious and super interesting experience. My family and I had the pleasure of creating our favorite chocolate bar or rather our favorite chocolate bars (as many as 4 each). The unexpected thing is that we decided everything. We chose the type of cocoa to be used, the percentages of sugar, the type of sugar (the beet is spectacular), we decided whether to leave it pure or add the ingredients that have made available to us. We selected the cocoa beans, roasted them (you can't imagine what perfume), obtained melted the mass and started CREATING.... In short, we really became chocolatiers for a day. I recommend it to everyone... young and old.
