Amano - Dos Rios Dominican Republic - 70% Cocoa

The story behind this bar begins with a phone call. A friend contacted Amano's founder, Art Pollard, excitedly about some very special cocoa beans he'd found in the Dominican Republic. Those beans became this 70% dark chocolate, which showcases the unique character of Dominican cacao: earthy, complex, and with a flavor profile distinct from the brighter, fruitier notes of other Caribbean origins.

Amano Artisan Chocolate is based in Utah and has built a reputation for seeking out exceptional, specific cacao sources rather than buying from commodity markets. Every bar tells the story of a particular place and the people who grow cacao there.

Tasting notes: Earthy, complex Dominican cacao with distinctive Caribbean character.
Pairs with: Dominican rum, a strong espresso, or dark stone fruit.
