Ocumare is a 70% dark chocolate, made by Amano Chocolate in Utah. It is a great chocolate created exclusively with beans from a remote valley known as Ocumare de la Coasta in Venezuela. The beans from Ocumare create a chocolate that is rich and chocolately but is also complex in flavor with hints of red fruit such as plum. You might taste a raisin note in it. You may also pick up slight smoky and woody notes. This is Amano’s flagship bar and has long been a favorite of many.

Fine chocolate is a growing industry. Amano is the best reviewed of all the American chocolate makers and their award winning chocolate has been honored by domestic and international associations. All bars have awards from the prestigious London Academy of Chocolate. Amano chocolate can pair with fine wines and ports. Tasting gourmet chocolate is very much like tasting fine wine using the same language for descriptions. Chocolate tastings are becoming as popular as wine tastings.

Each 2 oz. bar is individually foil wrapped and beautifully boxed. Each box is printed on high grade paper providing a luxurious feel in the hand. The painting on the Ocumare box is an original piece of artwork by artist Carlos Serbia commissioned by Amano Artisan Chocolate.
