Together with Big Tree Farms we are committed to supporting the preservation of traditional farmers through the development of social, ecological and economically sustainable supply chains in Bali. The two farms producing our trinitario beans are the properties of the Sukrama family who cultivates 8000 cocoa trees over 7 ha in the Melaya area in the western part of the island. We introduce here the first Bali chocolate bar ever made in Europe. Very chocolaty, this bar has a masculine bitterness and expressive notes of spices.

In April 2009, Bertil Åkeson, Jr. and his Brazilian partner Dr. Angelo Calmon de Sá, purchased the historic Fazenda Sempre Firme in Bahia, Brazil. This 120 ha cocoa plantation is right in the middle of the Mata Atlantica, the wild forest with the highest biodiversity on earth. They were able to recreate a social structure and their best reward is to hear the community referring to the Fazenda as a "Paraíso" (paradise). They are growing there the traditional and astonishing forastero cocoa variety called "parasinho" that made the glory of Bahia at the beginning of the 20th century. The chocolate we developed from our beans is smooth, woody and earthy. It has also expressive notes that evoke autumn scents, tobacco and the local pitanga fruit.

Part of the 2300 ha Åkesson family estate, the plantation is located in the Sambirano Valley, in the North-West of Madagascar. Since 1920 we have produced world-famous aromatic cocoa. Besides 300 tons of trinitario cocoa produced every year, a very limited quantity of criollo beans - 2 tons - is harvested separately. This chocolate has a very expressive cocoa aroma with subtle fruity-sweet tartness and pleasant flavour notes that evoke citrus and red berries.

It is for good reason this is the very first chocolate that we released. It tastes incredible and has won numerous awards in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The cocoa we use to make the chocolate comes from a cocoa plantation in the Sambirano Valley on the northwest coast of Madagascar. The owner of the plantation is a valued friend and colleague, so we are always sure to get his very best. Each batch of our Madagascar chocolate is carefully roasted, stone ground, refined, and conched to bring out the very best flavors of the exotic cocoa beans we use. It is a laborious process, but each bit of extra effort pays off when using truly special cocoa to create a chocolate such as this. The final result explodes with a symphony of flavors. Try this chocolate and you'll be sure you have found a favorite. Tasting notes: This chocolate has a rich, gentle chocolate flavor with notes of balsamic vinegar, cherry, raisin & citrus.

Bought Tallinn 2009, good taste for the price, it costs only like 50-60 cents here I think, less than 1€ anyway. Not too bitter as dark chocolate could be, nor too sweet like milk chocolate. Minus is that a bar could be bigger (then maybe more expensive of course) and it is not easy to find on store. Maybe because not the most popular brand, difficult to compete with Kalev and Fazer there. 8.8/10. :)

The name "Chuao" is spoken with reverence. It symbolizes the world's most coveted cocoa and its source. For centuries, the farmers of Chuao have faithfully grown this native Venezuelan criollo cocoa. They ritually harvest and ferment the beans, then sun-dry them in front of their historic church. Once they reach us, we gently hand roast and stone grind them, turning this exalted cocoa into one of the world's finest chocolates. It is pure passion, pure tradition, pure love - pure Chuao. Tasting notes: plums, blueberries, blackberries, molasses, coffee, almonds.

From the very first time I tasted the cocoa beans we used to make this chocolate, I fell in love with them. Their rich flavor was intoxicating and yet beautiful. The cocoa comes from a small, remote community in the Guayas River Basin just up the river from Guayaquil, Ecuador. It was an easy decision to make chocolate from these wonderful beans. After the chocolate was finished, we held a launch party with the farmers in Ecuador. We had free food for all and most importantly, they were all excited to taste chocolate they helped to create. I will never forget the aged matriarch of the community thrusting out her gnarled hand and demanding "more" time and time again. Every time I taste this chocolate, I am sure that she was right.

On the southwest coast of the Indonesian island of Bali lies the regency of Jambrana. Known for its lush vegetation, fertile volcanic soil, and high humidity, it has ideal growing conditions for cacao. I have carefully selected fine-grade cocoa beans from around Jembrana to create this chocolate. Their deep chocolate flavor is accented with gentle nuttiness -- indigenous flavors of these prized beans. These beans create a singular chocolate that is rich, flavorful and, I believe, beautiful...

Carefully tended rice fields line the base of Bali's majestic volcanoes. At their edge are serene cocoa trees that produce beautifully rich cocoa beans - with a flavor unique to the island of Bali. I selected the very best of Bali's cocoa to make this milk chocolate. We roast, stone grind, and then gently blend this cocoa with milk making a luscious milk chocolate with flavor notes of licorice and honey you will cherish each and every time you try it.

Years ago, I found a beautiful cocoa plantation that has forever caught my imagination. On this particular day, it was overcast and the cocoa trees were new and laden with a rainbow of cocoa pods. It was very peaceful with the exception of the tropical birds chirping and squawking. As the light came through the leaves, I could not help but feel if there was a Garden of Eden, it had to be just like this. Ever since, I have wanted to make chocolate with beans from this magical place. It took seven years. As they say, good things come to those who wait. I hope this chocolate is as special for you as it is for me. Tasting notes: Deep chocolate flavor that hints of molasses, brown sugar/muscovado, cream, nuts and dried apricots.

Accessible only on horseback in the mountains of northern Venezuela are several family-owned cocoa plantations. Here I discovered a limited supply of truly exquisite cocoa beans. We are the first to make a single-origin chocolate from these precious beans. Our vintage process gently accentuates their finest flavors. The result is a remarkable chocolate with flavor notes of apricot and marshmallow that you will find enchanting.

Between the coastal mountains of Venezuela and the Caribbean lies the colonial village of Ocumare. Since the 1700's, Ocumare has been famous for its flavorful Criollo cocoa beans. To create this milk chocolate, I hand select the best cocoa from this region. The richness of the beans from Ocumare, tempered with milk, creates a delicate chocolate I treasure for its perfectly balanced flavors of milk and cocoa. If you passionately seek fine-flavored milk chocolate, as I do, this chocolate is for you.

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.

The "family treasure". This blend expresses the Amedei philosophy. Combined here are cacaos of 9 plantations which, over the years, have been discovered, restored and rendered productive again by Alessio Tessieri: an exceptional raw material. From this, Cecilia created a powerful and balanced dark chocolate, in which the aromas of the plantations persist in the unmistakable flavour of this chocolate.

The name Chuao brings to the mind the legend of Mayan cocoa, a primitive taste, an earthly paradise where the "food of the gods" grows. It wasn't easy for Amedei to purchase and process these beans, and proved even more challenging for Cecilia Tessieri to "tame" the wild bean, which had never been tasted in the pure form. She discovered that after a 20-day aging period, this chocolate - unlike any other - continues to develop and improves its acidity and aroma.
