DOMORI: IL PRIMATO DEL CIOCCOLATODomori è stata fondata nel 1997 da Gianluca Franzoni ed è parte del Gruppo illy dal 2006; a giugno 2019 il Gruppo illy ha annunciato la costituzione della sub holding Polo del Gusto, presieduta da Riccardo Illy, che raggruppa tutte le attività extra caffè.&nbsp;Gianluca Franzoni ricopre oggi la carica di Presidente di Domori, mentre Andrea Macchione ne è Amministratore Delegato e Chairman&nbsp;di Prestat, storico Brand inglese di cioccolato, fornitore della Casa Reale, entrato a far parte di Domori a marzo 2019.Domori, con sede a None (Torino), è considerata una realtà d’eccellenza nel mondo del cioccolato super premium, portavoce di una vera e propria nuova cultura del cacao, basata su un’instancabile ricerca per la qualità e la purezza della materia prima, che ha reso il marchio competitivo a livello mondiale.&nbsp;Sin dalla sua fondazione Domori ha sviluppato il Progetto Criollo, che da 25 anni protegge la specie di cacao più preziosa e rara al mondo: il Criollo rappresenta infatti soltanto lo 0,001% del cacao prodotto nel mondo. I primati di Domori sono numerosi: è stata la prima azienda al mondo a impiegare solo cacao fine, la prima a recuperare in campo la biodiversità del cacao Criollo, la prima a produrre un cioccolato con cacao Criollo, la prima a realizzare una tavoletta 100%, la prima a riutilizzare una formula antica e semplice, cioè pasta di cacao e zucchero, la prima a creare un Codice di Degustazione del Cioccolato per scoprire le infinite sfumature del cacao. Il modello Domori, basato su filiera e ricette “corte” e rigorose, è oggi largamente ripreso dai produttori di tutto il mondo.A settembre 2019, Domori ha avviato una partnership creativa con Annamaria Testa, che ha firmato il nuovo claim del Brand e la campagna “Il cioccolato è un mondo” realizzata con le foto di Guido Harari.
