Chuao - 70% dark chocolate

Chuao chocolate , which takes its name from the Venezuelan peninsula where the seeds of the cocoa bean used come from, has an initial taste of plums, red fruits and a rounded aroma. For the first time, this natural blend is being produced in its pure form. The correct severity of this chocolate improves after a 20-day refinement phase.

The growing area north of Caracas, Venezuela is on the coast and is only accessible from the sea. It is the only growing area in the world from which the designation of origin (Chuao) is protected by law . The epitome of single origin chocolate . Amedei has signed a contract with the farmers that gives them purchase rights to half of these unique cocoa beans. The bean is a "natural blend", a unique product indeed.

In 2008 the Academy of Chocolate in London awarded Amedei Chuao 70% the gold medal in the category "Bean-to-Bar / Cocoa beans to the table - the best chocolate producers for dark chocolate bars" .
