Messina Made
The people who made Messina, and were made by Messina.
What is "Messina Made"
Messina Made is our ongoing series that celebrates the people behind the scoops. The makers, thinkers, fixers and creatives who’ve helped shape Messina into what it is today. Each episode spotlights one of the integral humans in our world (from R&D and production to chocolate and the family roots that started it all), sharing the stories, craft and quiet obsession that goes into everything we do.
