The Story of Domori

How Domori Started

Domori was created in 1997 by a person named Gianluca Franzoni. Before that, in 1993, Gianluca finished studying business. He then traveled all the way to Venezuela.

Saving Special Cocoa Beans

In Venezuela, Gianluca worked with different types of cocoa beans. He wanted to learn how to grow and protect a very rare kind of cocoa bean called criollo. This was important because he wanted to keep these special beans from disappearing forever. The criollo cocoa is grown at a place called Hacienda San José.

Domori's Unique Chocolate

Domori makes six different kinds of criollo cocoa. These include types like Puertomar and Puertofino. The company even makes a chocolate bar that is 100% criollo cocoa. This special bar has no added lecithin or other flavorings.

Chocolate Drinks and More

In 2012, the Coca-Cola company and Illycaffè worked together. They created a new line of cold chocolate drinks. Besides making products for people to buy in stores, Domori also makes large amounts of chocolate. This bulk chocolate is used by other chocolatiers to create their own treats.

In 2015, Domori showed off its cold chocolate drink, Crema Cacao. They did this at the Milan World Expo, a big event where companies show their new products.
