El Rey's Superior Gourmet Chocolate Bars are manufactured with the Carenero bean, a regional type of cacao that grows east of Caracas, Venezuela. Since the colonial period, the Carenero has been renowned for its complex flavor notes of fruit, flower, nut, and spice, and intense chocolate taste.
This Gourmet Chocolate line is composed of small 2.8 oz. chocolate bars wrapped in nice colored wrappers which we sell in pairs, offering you a total of 5.6 ounces of gourmet chocolate and a choice of 6 varieties:
Apamate Dark - 73.5%, a smooth, fluid harmonious dark chocolate with delicately fruity aroma, subtle acidity and earthy, toasty hints of spice, all of which linger pleasantly on the palate.
Gran Saman Dark - 70%, an intense, bold, earthy, complex, and balances pronounced bitterness with refreshing acidity to achieve a most robust flavor. The least fluid of the El Rey chocolates, this chocolate is endless with complex notes of fruit, flower, nut and spice.
Mijao Dark - 61%, a delicate and balanced with interesting hints of apricot and plum. High cacao butter content results in Mijao's fluid, buttery texture and relative low acidity without compromising flavor, aroma, and the subtle, lingering delight of this dark chocolate.
Bucare Dark - 58.5%, a versatile chocolate - balanced to perfection to achieve a robust cacao aroma with pleasant overtones of fruit. It has great character, texture and a long, lingering mouth-feel.
Caoba Milk - 41%, a fluid, smooth 'dark' milk chocolate with wonderful caramel, nut and earthy flavors. Its notable flavor is the result of increased cacao content, among the highest of any milk chocolate on the market.
Icoa White - this gourmet chocolate redefines world standards of excellence for white chocolate. Pure and fragrant - Icoa is made only with cacao butter which accounts for about 55% of the cacao beans composition and ergo, carries in it much cacao flavor and aroma.
