L'antica Dolceria Bonajuto - Modica

We did the chocolate factory tour and it's interesting and a good value. We were able to try an amazing chocolate drink to start and a few other samples to take home.

Il cioccolato di Modena è famoso in tutto il mondo e in questo dolcetto si può ancora percepire un'atmosfera storica, dai mobili alla preparazione dei dolci. Non solo cioccolato, ma anche biscotti e dolci tipici di Modena, birre e praline. Da non perdere!

Plus, the chocolate is lousy, at least lousy if you are like me and like Swiss chocolate. The Modica cousin is lacking milk and butter, it’s only cocoa and sugar, plus the bubbles of air due to the way they make it.I was part of a group, so I”m not sure what it cost to get the presentation, but whatever it was it’s not worth it.

We were booked on a chocolate tasting and had some delays with traffic so were running a bit late (we did email them to let them know). When we arrived, it was not obvious to us that the tasting was in a room next to the shop. When we were in the shop, we must have arrived just after a coach full of tourists so the shop was really busy and we had to wait quite a while to speak to someone. By the time we spoke with someone we were unable to join the tasting as too much time had passed which we were expecting anyway. However, the staff were so incredibly lovely, one staff member did a mini tasting with us in the shop and let us try the chocolates and liqueurs before we bought some (I think she took pity on us as I'm sure I was looking a bit frazzled with the stress of getting there). The staff were so incredibly lovely and helpful and took the time to show us their products and give us the history of chocolate making in Modica. They did not make us feel rushed at all and really went out of their way to give us a good experience even though our lateness caused us to miss the tasting. Would definitely visit here again if I was nearby.

Quando penso a quanto è delizioso, penso a questo laboratorio dove troverai il cioccolato in varie forme e gusti. Anche se il mio preferito rimane il cioccolato classico con cannella o vaniglia. I prezzi sono onesti e il personale è preparato. È anche possibile prenotare degustazioni. Situato strategicamente, vicino al parcheggio.
