Unusual and captivating, Catania combines the sweet, floral notes of Sicilian prickly pear with the gentle herbal lift of marjoram.

Story:
Named for the city at the foot of Mount Etna, Catania celebrates Sicily’s volcanic energy and abundance. In this bar, Sabadì captures that contrast — fertile land meeting aromatic herbs and vivid fruit. The Modican method, where cacao is ground cold to preserve its texture and natural acidity, gives the bar its signature crystalline crunch and raw intensity. It’s a flavour snapshot of the island itself: bold, bright, and beautifully alive.

Fiamma Tip:
Let it melt slowly or pair with a glass of aromatic white wine — like Moscato or Malvasia — to bring out its fruity, herbal layers.

This chocolate is made in the traditional Modica method, that also dates back to Aztec methods of cacao - which means it is uniquely - and deliciously - grainy, rather than being smooth.

What is Modican Chocolate?

 

Modican chocolate is something truly special — officially recognised as a Traditional Agricultural Product of Italy (IGP)and protected by a Slow Food Presidium. It’s made using the traditional Modican method, a process that traces its roots back to Aztec techniques of cacao preparation.

Typical of Modica, Sicily, this chocolate is defined by its distinctive grainy texture and pure, expressive flavour. Crafted entirely by hand, it’s produced using the age-old “cold-working” process, where the temperature never exceeds 45°C. This gentle method preserves the cacao’s natural aromatics and the integrity of each ingredient.

The result is unmistakable — chocolate that’s bright, textural, and alive with flavour.
