Great day in the chocolate lab! - Giuseppe, Vincenzo and Jessica provided a detailed, informative and fun experience in their chocolate lab. Our group had a great time learning about the chocolate making experience and the personal chocolate bars we made were an added benefit. If you want to learn about Modica chocolate, this is the tour to take.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE - Hilarious and super interesting experience. My family and I had the pleasure of creating our favorite chocolate bar or rather our favorite chocolate bars (as many as 4 each). The unexpected thing is that we decided everything. We chose the type of cocoa to be used, the percentages of sugar, the type of sugar (the beet is spectacular), we decided whether to leave it pure or add the ingredients that have made available to us. We selected the cocoa beans, roasted them (you can't imagine what perfume), obtained melted the mass and started CREATING.... In short, we really became chocolatiers for a day. I recommend it to everyone... young and old.

Exceeded our expectations - Wonderful experience! We did everything from sorting through the cocoa beans before roasting to finishing our own chocolate bars and all the steps in between. Giuseppe is very passionate about his craft and so great at explaining all the processes. He speaks Italian and had an interpreter who was awesome at conveying all the information and instructions.

Wondeful chocolate making - the 3 of us had a wonderful experience learning about the process of chocolate making from raw cocoa beans. Fascinating! You will spend 3 to 4 hours hands on and then tasting. You will learn about the countries that sell beans such as Siere Leone, Ecuador, Dominion Republic and Peru! Only suggest is to see the cute black aprons we wore during our experience.!!!

a wonderful experience! - I had the pleasure of participating in the experience together with Giuseppe and Vincenzo and it was really unforgettable. Giuseppe, with great passion and clarity, guided us on a real journey to discover cocoa, illustrating in a detailed and engaging way all the steps that lead from the cocoa bean to the finished chocolate. He was extremely exhaustive in his explanations, always ready to respond to all our curiosity and to enrich the story with concrete examples and even with some videos that made the experience even clearer and more interesting. The best part was that we didn't just observe, but we made the chocolate ourselves, guided step by step, following the two "bean to mass" "bean to bar" steps. To make everything even more special Vincenzo thought, who at the end guided us in a tasting of the different types of chocolate, transmitting us, as throughout the trip, their great expertise. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to live a unique moment between culture, craftsmanship and sweetness.

Immensely generous and immersive Chocolate experience - From beginning to the end (5 hours later) this was a rollercoaster of absolute delight and generosity. Learning and getting involved with the processes of how proper chocolate is made. We even got to make our own chocolate bars.

Check it’s in English! - Really, really disappointed. Booked this a few weeks ago, a chocolate making experience in English. Was messaged today to say I would be charged an extra €50 for an English translator ( 27 hours notice!) leaving me no option but to cancel.
