Story:
Venezuela is often called the birthplace of fine cacao, and today is a country where fine cacao is still grown as heritage rather than a just a crop. Along the northern valleys, small farms follow traditions that go back centuries; fermenting beans in cedar boxes and drying them under the sun on terracotta patios. The humid coastal micro-climate provides the perfectly balance of sea air on one side, and the shade of tall trees on another. And it's this micro-climate that nurtures this cacao that’s both robust and perfumed - and it's the reason regions like Sur del Lago became legendary in the chocolate world.
Fiamma Tip:
Enjoy at room temperature after dinner, paired with a pour of aged rum or a nut-forward dessert wine to highlight its roasted, mellow character.
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!
