Tasting Notes:
Amedei’s Chuao is made from one of Venezuela’s most celebrated cacao origins — the small coastal village of Chuao, famed for its centuries-old cacao groves and exceptional (and rare) Criollo beans.
This bar captures that heritage with remarkable depth and harmony: notes of red fruit, honey, toasted almonds and delicate florals unfold over a smooth, lingering melt that defines Amedei’s signature style.
A bean so rare, only 20,000 bars are made - and each bar is hand-numbered.
Bean Origin: Chuao, Venezuela (100% Criollo)
Made in: Tuscany, Italy
Bar Size: 50 g
Story:
The Chuao valley is synonymous with the finest cacao in the world. But why is Chuao cacao so special?
Accessible only by boat and surrounded by mountains, the village of Chuao has remained almost completely isolated for centuries — a living time capsule of traditional cacao cultivation. Grown in this seclusion and fermented in wooden boxes under the coastal sun, its beans are revered for their balance of fruit, nut and floral tones.
Amedei was among the first makers to secure access to this rare origin, transforming it into a bar that reflects both place and precision. The result is a dark chocolate of striking elegance — complex, aromatic, and unmistakably Italian craftsmanship.
Fiamma Tip:
Allow it to melt slowly and savour the interplay of fruit, honey and roasted almond. Exquisite with aged rum or an aromatic dessert wine.
TIMING: We don't believe anyone should wait too long for chocolate and aim to have your chocolate packaged and shipped within 1-2 business days. The sooner the better as far as we're concerned :)
SHIPPING TIMES: Standard shipping typically takes between 2-7 days. Exact time will depend on the courier, and whilst we can't guarantee any exact time as it's out of our hands, experience tells us it's more likely to be 2-3 days in most cases.
THE SNAILIEST SNAIL MAIL: As a heads up, sending to a PO Box, parcel locker or similar, will often be slower as we can't use courier services and have to rely on Australia Post, who can be pretty slow at times.
EXPRESS POST: If you need your chocolate urgently, because sometimes that's a thing in life, please select Express Post at checkout, or get in touch to check how we can help.
HOT WEATHER POLICY: Please note, if the temperature is soaring we may withhold sending your chocolate for a day or two to ensure it doesn't arrive a melted mess. We'll keep you posted if that's a case, but please refer to our hot weather policy, or get in touch with any questions.
FREE SHIPPING! We're like you and we love free shipping - although full transparency, we deal in good chocolate as a passion more than profit (yep, the margins are pretty low) and as much as we'd love to offer free shipping on every order it's just not possible. But we love people who love good chocolate, so keep an eye out onsite for our free shipping rates, and gift boxes that include free shipping. Happy days!
