For centuries, cocoa beans and sugar have given life to a simple but delicious food: Chocolate of Modica PGI, whose noble origins, by ethics, have reserved it for the few. Until one day we said to ourselves – explains Giuseppe Rizza, CEO of Antica Dolceria Rizza – “this chocolate must be for everyone!”
Our intuition was to have it proposed as a territorial excellence, also in the best large-scale retail outlets, to make it accessible to everyone. Every day, we challenge the ordinary chocolate market, bringing a product “out of the traditional schemes” into the spotlight, making people appreciate its taste and quality, both with our own brand and with Private Labels.
Antica Dolceria Rizza has shown, over the last eighty years, that it is capable of innovation while remaining the guardian of the ancient traditional recipe dating back to 1746, which involves processing Modica’s chocolate at low temperatures, for a short time and without “conching” and “tempering”, thus respecting the characteristics and originality of this particular product that identifies its territory of provenance. All this is also reflected in the recent inclusion of the chocolate ingredient PepiteModica in the gamma horeca: crunchy, granular, heat-resistant and available in different “karats”, they are suitable for sweet and savoury recipes.
Whether in bars, chocolates, nuggets, Easter eggs or whatever other delicacy, Antica Dolceria Rizza Chocolate of Modica PGI is an example that the future is rooted in history!
