Maker Comments | The cocoa from the remote Venezuelan village of Ocumare de La Coasta has become famous since the 1600's. Since we founded Amano, it has been an honor to be able to make chocolate from this rarefied cocoa. The flavor has always been one of the world's finest, and we have watched many people swoon as the waves of Ocumare's incredible chocolatey flavor gently overwhelm their senses. I have found the farmers of the Ocumare and neighboring valleys to be very kind and hospitable. For this reason, it is one of my favorite places to visit. I truly believe that this chocolate accurately reflects the pride, sensitivity, and personality of the humble farmers who grow the cocoa that we use to make this chocolate. As you taste it,, I am sure you will come to love as much as I do, not only the chocolate but the farmers and the land from which it comes. This chocolate has a rich, complex chocolate flavor with notes of red fruit and spice. |
