Summary: not chocolate!
Comment: This is a unique product, with a completely different approach to the presentation of cocoa than anything I've ever seen from a chocolatier. This "chocolate bar" resembles nothing so much as coarse-ground unrefined sugar mixed with dry cocoa powder, with just barely enough cocoa-fat to bind it together into a bar.

The flavor is interesting and pleasantly novel, but the texture leaves me sadly wanting. Gritty and dry, it's like chewing on sugar crystals. I won't be buying it again.

Summary: Crumbly Chocolate-4 1/2 stars
Comment: The description of this chocolate is perfect. The crumbly light texture is unique in my experience; I have never had another chocolate bar like it. Imagine - Aztecs and Sicilians together in one chocolate bar! I have only sampled the coffee-flavored bar which was not heavily coffee but subtle in the flavoring. I am looking forward to trying the other flavors. I will let you know which is my favorite. I went to their web site but, alas, it was all in Italian. Thank goodness for Amazon; now I can order chocolate to be delivered to me.


Editorial Review for Casa Don Puglisi Pure Chocolate from Modica - Vanilla (3.5 ounce) by igourmet.com:

We are pleased to introduce this luxurious chocolate bar, courtesy of the renowned Don Giuseppe Puglisi of Modica, Sicily. Puglisi's chocolate bars are made in the Aztec tradition, creating a rustic, brittle chocolate untainted by modern machinery and artificial flavorings. The chocolate's opaque patina comes from its cold production process which maintains the full flavor of each ingredient. The cocoa is cold-pressed with sugar granules, rather than heating the cocoa and corrupting the purity of its flavor.

Delicate and speckled with reddish blooms, the brittle chocolate crumbles upon disturbance. The unusual texture is the antithesis of mass-produced chocolate. Thanks to a painstaking handmade method, the quality of the ingredients is allowed to shine through. This treat will be a find for any chocolate lover!
  • Available in 8 flavors: Classic, Chili, Coffee, Cinnamon, Ginger, Bergamotto (Orange Essence), Pistachio, or Vanilla.
