Gianluca Franzoni started Domori in 1993 after falling in love with cacao in Venezuela. He lived on a cacao farm and learnt the intricacies of the trees and beans and then realised he had to share the magical flavours with Italy.Domori was one of the first bean to bar chocolate's we tried. Living in Europe when we discovered the wonders of craft chocolate, we were lucky to have access to some of their wonderful bars. Although they now make a wide range of chocolate products, they specialise in highlighting the wonderful world of criollo cacao. We're delighted to share their 5 origins + their magical blend of them as a 100% dark chocolate for the purists."Domori means "due mori" - in English, two moors -, the two Moors being two bronze statues depicting two shepherds who strike the hour on a huge bell located at the top of the Clock Tower on a rooftop in Saint Mark's Square. The name Domori is the one Venetians affectionately use owing to the bronze colour of the metal. The two Moors are very similar but not the same: one of the two, the one on the right, does not have a beard. Owing to this detail, the bearded Moor is called the “old man”, the other one is the “young man”. A very specific detail contributes to this attribution of roles: the Moors mark the hour by striking the bell with their hammers (with the same number of strikes as the current hour) but in a certain way. The Old Moor strikes the hour two minutes before the correct time, to represent time past, whereas the Young Moor strikes it two minutes afterwards to represent the future. In Franzoni’s imagination, the "Domori" are two beans browned by toasting, cocoa and coffee...the old Moor is the coffee bean and the young one is cocoa!" See more
