Nero Modicano is an Elenka exclusive: an ingredient born from Modica chocolate, the oldest way of processing cocoa, rooted in pre-Columbian culture. The Aztecs ground cocoa beans with spices into a hard paste; the Spanish brought the technique to Modica, where it has continued to this day.

Modica chocolate is unique for its “cold” processing: cocoa beans are ground without removing their butter and mixed with granulated sugar and spices at a constant 40 °C. This gives its typical rough, grainy texture, keeping the sugar crystals and the cocoa’s organoleptic properties intact.

The base is perfectly pre-balanced: with water for full intensity, with milk for a softer texture. It lends itself to many variations, from spicy (chilli, cinnamon) to fruity (mandarin, red berries, orange, sour cherry), as well as pistachio, ginger, saffron, star anise, caramel and cereals.
