It is prepared according to a traditional recipe dating back to the Aztec ancient civilization and handed down to us by the Spaniards. Upon entering a traditional "dolceria modicana", you'll smell delicious flavours coming from the genuine ingredients used in the chocolate-making, such as bitter cocoa paste, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and cocoa butter. The resulting graininess from the sugar crystals is what gives this chocolate its distinctive quality.
