The Original
Worked at low temperature in the traditional Modica style, this chocolate preserves a truer cacao expression and offers a markedly different experience from standard dark bars.
Simply Made
The Nero Puro line is built on essentials alone: cacao mass and cane sugar, with no lecithin, no artificial flavourings, and no preservatives.
Origin & Terroir
Made in Modica, Sicily, where this historic chocolate tradition is protected and preserved, this bar carries a strong sense of place and craft.
Traditional
More than a dark chocolate bar, it reflects a historic Sicilian way of making chocolate — slower, more deliberate, and deeply tied to taste.
Product Details
Why We Selected It
We selected Ciomod’s 80% Cacao bar because it is the kind of chocolate that can genuinely surprise people who think they already know dark chocolate well. More than a product of intensity alone, it reveals how much the method of preparation shapes flavour, depth, and overall experience. Worked at low temperature in the traditional Modica style and made without lecithin or artificial flavourings, it feels honest, distinctive, and deeply respectful of chocolate itself. For Root & Peak, it is both a bar for connoisseurs and a remarkable way to introduce someone to a rarer, more memorable chocolate tradition.
Frequently Asked Questions

• Pairing: serve it with a good rum, a single malt whisky, or a structured red wine to deepen the cacao experience.
• Gourmet use: grate it over desserts or use it in molten cakes for a more intense, more characterful cacao finish.
