Tasting Notes: Maraschino Cherries, Apricot, Caramel, Hazelnut, and Cream

Here is the ultimate milk chocolate bar…probably the best milk chocolate bar I’ve had. This Amano Ocumare Village Venezuela 48% Milk Chocolate Bar is a limited edition, and you’ll want to scoop it up while you can. Trust me, this is a milk chocolate lover’s dream…indulgent, rich and gentle, but with a hint of sophistication!

The coastal village of Ocumare is situated between the coastal mountains of Venezuela and the Caribbean. Ocumare is an area of exquisite natural beauty with clear turquoise water and steep mountains nearby. Rare and exotic birds and other animals call this part of the world home, and it’s also the place where flavorful criollo cacao beans have been growing since the 1700s.

Art Pollard, Amano’s founder and head chocolate maker hand selects the best coca from this region. He says, “The richness of the beans from the village of Ocumare, tempered with organic milk, creates a delicate chocolate I treasure for its perfectly balanced flavors of milk and coca. If you passionately seek fine flavored milk chocolate, as I do, this chocolate is for you.”
