CAFFE
A single, sweetly roasted Brasilian
coffee is covered with a dark chocolate with 75% cocoa.
Coffee trees often grow next to cocoa trees. When I was
in my plantations, I always had a cup of coffee with me,
and the flavors, persistency and smoothness of coffee
have always reminded me of cacao.

NOCCIOLA

MAIS
Milk chocolate covered toasted corn.
40% cacao. Cacao and maize were the two main crops of the
ancient Mesoamerican civilizations. The first was often
represented as an old and wise god, the latter as a young
and handsome god. Cacao was the money while maize was at
the center of the world conception: given to man by gods
as reward for their work, it was the most faithful friend.
Maize had already been mixed with cacao 2500 years earlier
to make the ancient drink of the New World. A primitive
and extraordinary pairing.

GINGER
Dark chocolate covered candied ginger.
75% cocoa
Gingiber officinale: ginger for gourmets.
A rhizome dating back to 3000 B.C. used by the Chinese as
a spice, as a sauce and also for its numerous therapeutic
effects. In Ancient Greece, a sandwich full of ginger was
eaten at the end of the meal to facilitate digestion. During
the Renaissance many cities had a ³Ginger Street² where
spice merchants sold their goods. The Portuguese brought
ginger around the world to increase its cultivation as they
were stimulated by its energizing powers. Candied ginger
is cut into cubes and covered with dark chocolate: at the
first taste, it has notes of citrus and is followed by a
clean, spicy piquancy. Finally at the end the aromatic notes
of dark chocolate emerge.

CHINOTTO
Dark chocolate covered candied chinotto.
75% cocoa
Citrus aurantium subspecies myrtifolia:
chinotto for gourmets. A tree about one and a half meters
tall that has evergreen leaves and clusters of sphere-shaped
fruits about 2-3cm in diameter with a very fragrant rind.
A navigator from Savona imported chinotto from China in
the 1500¹s. In the land that surrounds Savona he found the
ideal climatic conditions that improved the quality and
made the chinotto grown in the Savona gardens a sought after
worldwide delicacy. It is an extraordinary citrus fruit
to protect. Domori accepted this challenge together with
the Augusto Vicenzio Besio company who was the first in
1860 to ennoble this fruit by making it candied. The combination
of candied chinotto and dark chocolate that enrobes it is
outstanding. The chocolate quickly reveals its strength
and richness, but the delicate, citrusy and bitter flavors
of the chinotto then come forth and delight the palate up
to half an hour after the tasting.
