Amano Ocumare Dark Chocolate Bar

Once in a great while, a great chocolate is created. This is one. Amano have created this chocolate exclusively with beans from the Ocumare Valley in Venezeula. The beans from Ocumare create a chocolate that is rich and chocolately but is also complex in flavor with hints of red fruit such as plum. Amano have created this bar using traditional machinery and added their own touch of love. If you have been waiting to see what an American chocolate maker can do, this is the bar for you.

About the Region:

On the central coast of Venezuela is a remote valley known as Ocumare de la Costa. Once almost totally inaccessible, the Ocumare region has been known for its superior criollo cacao since at least the early 1700's. Amano hand selected these beans for their fruity and floral notes that pair well with the rich chocolate flavor. Amano then carefully roasted them in their antique cacao roaster to enhance their optimal flavor. These are some of the finest cocoa beans they have discovered and from which Amano have made a chocolate you are sure to enjoy.
