As the festive season approaches, information outlets are preparing a tasteful spotlight on a small but mighty culinary jewel. A portion of traditional gastronomy is being shared with readers to savor during Christmas dates, inviting families to discover a moment of sweetness that feels like home amid holiday buzz.
Next Sunday, December 4, the feature will be complemented by a dedicated piece about a storied chocolate maker. The Indispensable traditional product that graces many Alicante tables this time of year is Marcos Tonda chocolate. This Alicante company carries a history spanning more than two centuries, crafting its chocolates through time-honored, artisanal methods. Marcos Tonda traces its chocolate lineage back to 1793, when Juan Tonda Lloret began the family craft. The process remains hands-on, with chocolate made in small batches to ensure texture and flavor stay true to their heritage.
What sets the brand apart is a steadfast commitment to quality, flavor, and the comforting tradition of good chocolate. The company sources premium raw ingredients, prioritizes authenticity in every recipe, and approaches packaging with a nod to their long-running story. The result is a product that respects its origins while inviting modern palates to enjoy a piece of living history.
a gastronomic delight
From pure dark to creamy milk, to bright white and even instant-soluble varieties, Marcos Tonda offers a spectrum of options for every preference. Enthusiasts can explore several lines designed for different tastes: traditional, artisanal, gourmet, deli, and premium. Each line takes pride in handmade production and the use of high-quality ingredients, reinforcing the brand’s reputation for careful craftsmanship and consistent flavor.
These little indulgences make December feel a touch more special. They are ideal for thoughtful gifts, small celebrations, or a personal treat during the holiday season. On Sunday, December 4, readers of INFORMACIÓN will have the chance to discover one of the finest chocolates produced in La Vila Joiosa, a town known for its connection to fine confectionery and local tradition.
