Amano - Ocumare Village Venezuela - 70% Cocoa

The cocoa from the remote Venezuelan village of Ocumare De La Costa has been famous since the 1600s. Amano's founder, Art Pollard, sources these exceptional beans and crafts them into a 70% dark chocolate that showcases centuries of cacao heritage. The flavor profile is complex and rewarding, reflecting the unique terroir of this legendary growing region.
