This situation remained until the 18th century, when the island of Sicily was ruled by Vienna, and later in the late 18th and early 19th centuries it was part of the Kingdom of Sicily. Centuries ago, the Spaniards brought the cacao seed from Mexico. Since then, the tradition and ritual of obtaining chocolate at low temperature has been preserved in Modica.
