What’s in a name?
The name La Molina has distant roots. Riccardo Fattori, the Tuscan artist who coined it and who designed the company branding and packaging, wanted to pay tribute to “Molina”, the personal chocolate maker of Maria Theresa of Habsburg (or of Austria), wife of Louis XIV, the Sun King. Her nickname came from the “molinillo” (in Spanish), a special sort of whisk used to make the chocolate drink enjoyed by the queen. Fattori liked the idea of associating this venture with a woman of the people, whose name we do not even know. Hence the “cameo” logo, the profile of a woman of the people but with an aristocratic air, reminiscent of Bizet’s Carmen, with her Spanish ancestry. With the logo also came “With eyes and mouth”, the motto that has accompanied the chocolate of La Molina ever since, beautiful to behold, exquisite to eat.
