L'Antica Dolceria Bonajuto In Modica

Antica Dolceria Bonajuto was chaotic when we went on a Wednesday in April – too many people in the lobby were vying for attention from the few attendants. The factory’s way of servicing customers was inefficient – one at a time for numerous tastings rather than attempting to address the needs of multiple customers simultaneously. Fortunately for us, we had pushed our way to the front and were able to sample different chocolates – all cocoa plus sugar without milk – before selecting a handful to purchase. We were disappointed that there was no tour that day of the oldest chocolate factory in Italy as advertised. Some groups had booked up all the available slots, so unless we wanted to wait until May, we were out of luck. There should have been better communication about this. Without the tour, Bonajuto was no better than any other store in Modica offering samples of their chocolate. Nobody really cares that it’s the oldest producer when you’re eating that day. Still, it was fun to see the folks in the back preparing the chocolate and deserts. We happened to meet a local chocolate connoisseur who advised us on a couple of specialties to try. The “Mpanatigghi e Nucatoli” had a secret ingredient with historical and religious origins. Cherry Wonderdog won’t spoil the fun for readers by spilling the beans here, but it’s definitely worth exploring during the visit.
