All the events and initiatives of Sciocolà Modena
During the course of Sciocolà Modena , there will be an opportunity to discover three major chocolate districts, Modica, Perugia and Turin, the three territories that most represent Italy’s Chocolate, and representative companies from these districts will be present at the Modena event.
To discover them, people can take advantage of a rich schedule of free events, including challenges, showcooking, tastings, gastronomic-cultural meetings, children’s workshops and traveling shows. A sensory journey where it will be possible to learn about the world of chocolate, from classics to cremini, from truffles to macarons, from liqueur dragèes to rum cunesi and the ever-present flavored bars, chocolate fountains and spreads.
The event begins immediately with a must-attend event: the cocktail designed for the event, Cocoa Black Gold, will be unveiled to taste right away the perfect combination, in liquid format, between chocolate and balsamic vinegar and made by Boutique del Dolce. Once again this year, a Modenese personage who has distinguished himself or herself will be honored with the Sciocolà d’Oro Award, and the Sciocolà in Rosa Ruby Award is established for the first time, tracing the historic award but dedicated exclusively to the pink quota.
Special guests and big dates
Throughout the event, a true work of art will be displayed on the pavement of Tower Square: theInfiorata, the floral creation of a majestic design in homage to the great master Leonardo Da Vinci.
There will also be no shortage of major events for which the festival is now nationally known, such as the maxi chocolate sculptures and the Chocolate Factory where people will be able to watch the processing steps that lead to the creation of the Nectar of the Gods. And right here you might meet Sciocolino, the very sweet and friendly mascot Chocolate Bear, who will roam the Historic Center of Modena to give smiles and cheer.
Several showcooking and tasting sessions are not to be missed: from that of Gabriella Gasparini, TV face, cook, writer, food blogger, and visualfood trainer for a pairing of chocolate and balsamic vinegar; to the 4-handed one between chef Alessia Morabito and the chef Francis Rompianesi with two oriental-inspired recipes, obviously based on chocolate and vinegar while there will be no less than 4 showcooking sessions by Modena at the Table.
