Welcome :
Amano is dedicated to reviving the art in the chocolate manufacturing process. We make our chocolate from select beans, that we import from around the world, in our own artisanal factory. We are one of only a small handful of companies in the United States who manufacture their own chocolate directly from the bean.
Using vintage European equipment and techniques, Amano strives to make the very best chocolate possible. We make our artisanal chocolate in small handcrafted batches and with only the very best ingredients. At every turn, we choose quality over quantity and develop our chocolate so that it has a robust flavor profile with both high and low notes. Our chocolate's subtle fruity flavor is prized by professional chefs who appreciate true handcrafted chocolate.
