Product Details:
Once in a great while, a great chocolate is created. This is one. We 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. We have created this bar using our traditional machinery and our own touch of love. If you have been waiting to see what an American chocolate maker can do, this is the bar for you.
Origin Information :
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. We hand selected these beans for their fruity and floral notes that pair well with the rich chocolate flavor. We then carefully roasted them in our antique cacao roaster to enhance their optimal flavor. These are some of the finest cocoa beans we have discovered and from which we have made a chocolate you are sure to enjoy.
Presentation:
Each bar is individually foil wrapped and beautifully boxed. Each box is printed on high grade paper providing a luxurious feel in the hand. The borders and details have been gently highlighted with gold foil accenting creating a stunning presentation making it suitable for gifts as well as your own enjoyment.
