Domori

Domori is an Italian company which produces chocolate products.[1][2] Domori has its headquarters in None, just outside Turin, and since 2006 has been part of Illy Group.[3]

History

Domori was founded in 1997 by Gianluca Franzoni.[4] In 1993, after studying Business, Gianluca travelled to Venezuela, where he experimented with varieties and harvests of cocoa in order to preserve the biodiversity and prevent the extinction of the rare cocoa, the criollo.[5] The criollo is grown at the Hacienda San José plantation.

Domori produces six varieties of criollo, including Puertomar and Puertofino.[6] The company manufactures a chocolate bar of 100% criollo, with no added lecithin or flavourings.[7]

In 2012 the Coca-Cola company and Illycaffè collaborated to produce a line of cold chocolate drinks.[8] As well as consumer products, Domori also produces chocolate in bulk for use by chocolatiers.[9][10]

In 2015 Domori promoted its cold chocolate drink, Crema Cacao, at the Milan World Expo.[11]

Awards

In 2011, Domori received the Palme d'Or at the Salon du Chocolat in Bologna and has won recognition of the Golden Tablet in dark chocolate of origin without interruption since 2003.
