Bonajuto – Ginger (Zenzero)
Type: Dark Chocolate

Tasting Notes:
The traditional Modica method keeps both cacao and sugar slightly coarse, creating a bright, crystalline texture that feels alive on the tongue. Ground ginger weaves through the dark chocolate, adding citrusy warmth and a gentle heat that lifts the richness of the cacao. Vibrant, textural, and unmistakably Sicilian.

Story: Is this the best Modica chocolate? Bonajuto is often regarded as the original master of Modica chocolate. Founded in 1880, they use the traditional cold-worked process that skips conching and preserves the natural grain of cacao and sugar. The result is chocolate that feels vibrant and direct - a living link to Sicily’s centuries-old craft. The addition of ginger brings a bright, modern edge to this heritage technique, bridging tradition and freshness in every bite.

Fiamma Tip:
Pair with amaro or peated whisky to mirror its warmth, or enjoy a square with a cup of ginger or citrus tea to echo the spice and brightness.

This family owned Italian business is unique - they have been making chocolate in the same quaint shop, down the same quaint laneway - in Modica, Sicily - since 1880.

Their way of making chocolate have them lauded as a 'gastronomic fossils' as they stay true to the ancient way (the Aztec way) of making chocolate - they stone grind and cold temper, which means the mixture never gets hot enough to melt the sugar crystals, which gives their chocolate its signature texture - a unique grainy chocolate that delivers flavour in a fabulous way. It's also led them to be famous amongst foodies worldwide.

In fact, nowadays that texture has returned to foodie fashion and a number of modern American chocolatiers make chocolate in this style - but none of them have 130 years of practice like Bonajuto.

Bonajuto only use three ingredients in their chocolate: cocoa, sugar, and spices. The simplicity of ingredients and preparation allows the robust flavours of the cocoa and spices to shine in a manner that’s hard to find in chocolate.

TIMING: We don't believe anyone should wait too long for chocolate and aim to have your chocolate packaged and shipped within 1-2 business days. The sooner the better as far as we're concerned :)

SHIPPING TIMES: Standard shipping typically takes between 2-7 days. Exact time will depend on the courier, and whilst we can't guarantee any exact time as it's out of our hands, experience tells us it's more likely to be 2-3 days in most cases.

THE SNAILIEST SNAIL MAIL: As a heads up, sending to a PO Box, parcel locker or similar, will often be slower as we can't use courier services and have to rely on Australia Post, who can be pretty slow at times.

HOT WEATHER POLICY: Please note, if the temperature is soaring we may withhold sending your chocolate for a day or two to ensure it doesn't arrive a melted mess. We'll keep you posted if that's a case, but please refer to our hot weather policy, or get in touch with any questions.
