Bonajuto | 80% Dark Chocolate - Sea Salt

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.

EXPRESS POST: If you need your chocolate urgently, because sometimes that's a thing in life, please select Express Post at checkout, or get in touch to check how we can help.

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.
