About Chocolates Domori
Chocolates Domori is based in None, near Turin, where the production plant is located.
The chocolatier Gianluca Franzoni, its founder, had the idea of creating this chocolate house after traveling to Venezuela in 1993, where he was fascinated by the cultivation of Creole cocoa and its final product, a fine aroma chocolate.
Since its inception in 1997, Domori has stood out for using only fine cocoa, focusing on high quality.
For this, it has been in charge of controlling the supply chain from the plantations, and in having its own.
This chocolate house was one of the first to make chocolate bars with 100% Creole cocoa.
