Description

Porcelana is one of the rarest Criollo cocoas with an extra-fine aroma in the world, which is born exclusively in Venezuela in the Sierra de Perija mountains, near Lake Maracaibo. This precious variety of cocoa is naturally devoid of bitterness and gives a remarkable roundness, due to the high level of cocoa butter contained in the beans.

In this dark chocolate with a refined and persistent taste, the delicate aromas of toasted bread, butter and dried fruit stand out, contrasted by a slight acidity reminiscent of fruit and jams.

This bar was awarded European Silver by the International Chocolate Awards in 2023.

Aroko Chocolate

Behind Aroko are Dubraska and Johonny, a young Venezuelan couple who have lived in Italy for years, and who have decided to bring something from their country of origin to Italy: and it is something very tasty!
Why Aroko?  In the Chaima language of the indigenous people who populated part of the Venezuelan territory it means Plume or Crown of feathers, a symbol of power and honor. In Venezuelan culture, tribute is often paid to the different Caciques - the indigenous leaders - by giving their name to cities or geographical areas where they dominated; Dubraska and Johonny wanted to pay tribute to all these legendary warriors.
