This exclusive edition of Sofia, un gioiello di passione, is the perfect taste combination and is consistent with the traditions of excellence in Modena.
How was Sofia created?
Sofia Malagoli wanted to develop new ways to enjoy the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
However, it was vital for the product to transmit the highest standards. She wanted to create something special, and something that represented an entirely different way of enjoying her product.
She thought that chocolate pralines would have been a perfect fit, but she needed to be sure that the product would have represented the highest standard and was uncertain on how to proceed. An entrepreneur who Sofia met at his factory provided guidance, he is the owner of one of the biggest acetaie in Modena - and she was very eager to meet him. The gentleman helped her and told her his story about how he developed his business. With his inspiration, Sofia is extremely excited to innovate, she knows that she will put all her heart into it. Sofia is confident that her sacrifices will lead to success.

About edible Gold!
Sometimes when we show our new gold chocolates, people are astonished and a little bit skeptical about eating gold!
We want to reassure you about it, humans can eat this gold and it has no health impact. The gold we use meets the technical safety requirements of the European Parliament directive 94/36/EC.
Furthermore, there are many chefs who have been using it in the kitchen for several years; unfortunately its use is not an absolute novelty!
This noble element of the Periodic Table is 100% natural. Created by nature and worked by men.
Gold is melted in a crucible, then made an ingot, then pressed many times until it forms a thin sheet. Extruded by rotating rollers, it comes to form a sheet of large surface and thickness around 100 microns. Then cracked in various shapes, to form light, flakes.
