Domori is a renowned Italian chocolate manufacturer, known for its commitment to quality and innovation in the world of fine chocolate. Founded in 1997 by Gianluca Franzoni, Domori has established itself as a pioneer in the chocolate industry, particularly in the preservation and use of fine and rare cocoa varieties. The company's headquarters are located in None, Turin, Italy.

History[edit | edit source]

After spending three years in Venezuela studying cocoa plantations, Gianluca Franzoni founded Domori with a mission to restore the original aroma of natural cocoa. His work in Venezuela allowed him to develop a deep understanding of cocoa cultivation and the challenges facing rare cocoa varieties. This experience laid the foundation for Domori's commitment to biodiversity and the sustainable cultivation of cocoa.

Philosophy and Innovations[edit | edit source]

Domori's philosophy centers on the respect for the intrinsic flavors of cocoa. The company is distinguished by its use of fine and rare cocoa varieties, such as the Criollo bean, which is known for its complexity and rarity. Domori was the first chocolate company to create a single-origin chocolate bar from the Criollo bean, setting a precedent in the chocolate industry for single-origin and high-quality products.

Innovation is at the heart of Domori's production process. The company employs a unique method of processing cocoa that includes a low-temperature roasting and grinding process. This technique ensures the preservation of the cocoa's aromatic profiles and results in a chocolate that is smoother and more flavorful than traditional chocolates.

Domori offers a wide range of products that cater to various tastes and preferences. Their product line includes:

- Single-origin chocolate bars, made from cocoa sourced from specific regions or plantations. - Blended chocolate bars, which combine different types of cocoa beans to create unique flavor profiles. - Chocolate pralines and truffles, which are crafted with the same attention to quality and flavor as their chocolate bars. - A line of chocolate spreads, which are made without the use of palm oil and offer a luxurious taste experience.
