From the Back Cover
The secrets of the chocolate world are finally revealed, by retracing the unique adventure of Gianluca Franzoni, founder of Domori, a company specializing in the processing of high quality chocolate.
Always searching for the perfect flavor, Franzoni has spent years in South America trying to retrieve a variety of cacao, Criollo, abandoned by large multinational companies because it is unproductive and unprofitable, but perfect for creating chocolate with exceptional organoleptic characteristics. His research is intertwined with the history of cocoa, traced from its origin to the present day.
The book outlines the stages that lead from the cocoa bean to the chocolate bar and provides all enthusiasts with the information they need to recognize a quality product and taste it taking in the flavours and fragrances.
