A rarely seen specialty from the Southern Italian region of Calabria.

The Favella masseria (ranch), which grows and covers these fruits in chocolate, is located near Sibari. If you’re up on ancient Greek history you might recognize this as the place where the Sybarites lived and ate famously well. These clementines in chocolate fit right into their hedonistic tradition. Spectacular Calabrian fruit soaked in a constantly refreshed bath of simple syrup for three weeks, cut in quarters, smothered in dark chocolate. Each piece is the size of a large chocolate truffle.

At times they can be so moist that the they drip juice. If you slide it in your mouth all at once, the luscious orange syrup won’t drip down your chin. Better yet, be a Sybarite. Let it drip.
