Sabadi | 60% Dark Modica Chocolate - Siracusa Mint & Lemon
Name: Sabadi Siracusa, Mint & Lemon
Type: Dark Chocolate
Cacao Percentage: 60%
Tasting Summary: zesty, minty, fresh, crunchy
Description: A bar of Sicilian sunshine from Sabadi, made in the traditional Modican way.
Rich Ecuadorian cocoa is lifted with lemon zest and dried mint leaves, so you get bright citrus first, then a cool herbal finish over deep, dark chocolate. It’s organic, and the texture is the surprise: grainy and crunchy rather than smooth, which releases flavour in a way a conched bar can’t. It also arrives in packaging that makes unboxing part of the experience, which makes it a lovely one to give.
Bean Origin: Ecuador (Nacional Fino de Aroma)
Made In: Modica, Sicily, Italy
Size: 50g
How to enjoy Sabadi Siracusa
Let a square soften on your tongue rather than chewing straight away, so the sugar crystals and the lemon and mint come through slowly. It’s good with a strong espresso or a cup of green tea, which both play off the citrus and mint.
What is Cioccolato di Modica?
Modican chocolate is made in Modica, Sicily, using a method traced back to Aztec cacao preparation, brought to Sicily during Spanish rule. The cocoa is ground slowly and gently warmed, never above 45°C, and is not conched or tempered. The sugar never fully melts into the cocoa, so the crystals stay intact and give the chocolate its grainy bite, and the cocoa’s aromatic notes are preserved. Cioccolato di Modica is a protected geographical indication (IGP) and is also protected by a Slow Food Presidium.
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.
FREE SHIPPING! We're like you and we love free shipping - although full transparency, we deal in good chocolate as a passion more than profit (yep, the margins are pretty low) and as much as we'd love to offer free shipping on every order it's just not possible. But we love people who love good chocolate, so keep an eye out onsite for our free shipping rates, and gift boxes that include free shipping. Happy days!
