About
I consider myself a man of Renaissance, trying to escape from the Dark Ages and cognizant that only the sky is the limit.
In my childhood, driven by purity and essence of ingredients, I started to make pistachio and almond sorbets.
I was fascinated by the world of bees, and I began to taste and to collect honey from all over the world and to reconsider the role of sugar in dessert.
I became a coffee fanatic in 1987, and that is where my passion with roasting began.
After receiving a degree in Business and Economics from the University of Bologna in 1990, I moved to South America and lived on cacao plantations in Venezuela. Sometimes living la vida loca and sometimes isolating myself to conceive my chocolate revolution.
I followed my dream of going to the soul of chocolate by growing, sourcing, fermenting and processing the finest cacao beans. In 1997, I founded Domori in Italy.
Since then, my adventures have begun.
