Cioccolardo: Dark Chocolate with Mafalda Lard

Cioccolardo is a unique creation that blends the richness of dark chocolate with the savory flavor of Lardo di Colonnata PGI, offering an unprecedented sensory experience. Inspired by an ancient recipe from the Medici court , this Renaissance chocolate is the result of artisanal craftsmanship that respects Tuscan tradition.

The base of this chocolate is made of 70% cocoa mass and sugar, cold-processed to preserve the organoleptic properties of the cocoa, free from soy lecithin and added cocoa butter! To this mixture are added thin flakes of Mafalda lard , aged in traditional marble basins, which give the chocolate a savoury and velvety note.

The result is a bar with an intense and complex flavor , where the bitter notes of dark chocolate blend harmoniously with the sweetness of lard, creating a perfect balance between sweet and salty . The natural white patina that envelops the bar is a sign of cold processing and the absence of added cocoa butter, soy lecithin, and other additives.

It can be enjoyed alone, to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors, or paired with a Tuscan passito, a herbal liqueur, or an aged grappa.
