Chuao cacao is considered by many to be the best in the world.
It grows exclusively around the village of Chuao near the Henry Pittier National Park in the Aragua state of Venezuela. This cacao is considered to be a Modern Criollo, which is characterized by a high genetic purity of Criollo without bitterness and a characteristic touch of acidity that makes the chocolate fresh, fruity and with an extraordinary persistence.
In 2021, Chuao cacao became the first cacao in the world to receive a certified Designation of Origin, DOCC (Denominacion Oficial Cacao de Chuao).

This dark chocolate has a complex and persistent taste, where you can find notes of blackcurrant, strawberries, blueberries, plums, mango and licorice.
