Palermo has been a crossroads of Arab, Norman, and Mediterranean cultures for centuries, and this bar tastes like it: bright citrus with a tangy spice from the eastern Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSabadì folds late mandarin peel and Sicilian sumac into cold-worked Ecuadorian cacao. The mandarin is sweet and fragrant. Sumac, a crimson berry with a natural lemony tartness, adds a zesty, slightly spicy edge that keeps the chocolate lively. Because the bar is made the traditional Modica way, at low heat so the sugar never melts, every bite has a pleasant crunch from tiny sugar crystals. ·\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOrganic, Fair Trade, Slow Food Presidium cacao\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCold-pressed traditional Modica method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGluten free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eVegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBeautiful packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMade in Modica, Sicily, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e1.76 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEnjoy it with a cup of black tea or a glass of Marsala.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Sabadì\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSabadì was founded in Modica by restaurateur Simone Sabaini to raise the standard of the town's chocolate.

It's tart and lemony, not hot, and it's what gives this bar its tangy, zesty note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it spicy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot in the chili sense. Sumac is tart and aromatic rather than hot, so expect brightness and a gentle tang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the texture grainy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's made with the traditional Modica cold-working method. The cacao is never heated above about 45°C (113°F), so the sugar stays in tiny crystals instead of melting, which gives it a signature crunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong itemprop=\"name\"\u003eMy bar has a whitish film on it.
