Tasting Notes:
Amedei’s Chuao is made from one of Venezuela’s most celebrated cacao origins — the small coastal village of Chuao, famed for its centuries-old cacao groves and exceptional (and rare) Criollo beans. 

This bar captures that heritage with remarkable depth and harmony: notes of red fruit, honey, toasted almonds and delicate florals unfold over a smooth, lingering melt that defines Amedei’s signature style.

A bean so rare, only 20,000 bars are made - and each bar is hand-numbered.

Story:
The Chuao valley is synonymous with the finest cacao in the world. But why is Chuao cacao so special?

Accessible only by boat and surrounded by mountains, the village of Chuao has remained almost completely isolated for centuries — a living time capsule of traditional cacao cultivation. Grown in this seclusion and fermented in wooden boxes under the coastal sun, its beans are revered for their balance of fruit, nut and floral tones.

Amedei was among the first makers to secure access to this rare origin, transforming it into a bar that reflects both place and precision. The result is a dark chocolate of striking elegance — complex, aromatic, and unmistakably Italian craftsmanship.

Fiamma Tip:
Allow it to melt slowly and savour the interplay of fruit, honey and roasted almond. Exquisite with aged rum or an aromatic dessert wine.
