Unlike normal chocolate, the Modica chocolate has a very specific character, it appears as grainy and friable, with grooves on the surface, with a dark black color, and depending on the type of chocolate, an opaque surface can be presented, just like what I used in this recipe, and with brown reflections. And thanks to its cold preparation it makes it unique; the granules of the sugar, in fact, are visible in the cocoa and give the chocolate an extra tasty sensation.
