Chuao Chocolatier

About the Company:

Chuao Chocolatier (pronounced chew-WOW) is the first Venezuelan Chocolatier based in the United States and Southern California’s premier artisan chocolatier.
Founded in 2002 by Master Chef Michael Antonorsi and his brother Richard Antonorsi - the company's Chairman of the Board; Chuao Chocolatier is pioneering “fusion chocolate” through a commitment to creating unusual, unexpected and delicious flavors using their secret blend of premium chocolate and fresh natural ingredients.
The Venezuelan born brothers, now San Diego residents, named the company Chuao Chocolatier after the legendary cacao-producing region of Chuao (pronounced chew-WOW) located in central Venezuela. The Antonorsi’s decision was a reflection of their commitment to both high quality and their Venezuelan family heritage. Chocolate is part of their roots, as their ancestors once ran a small family farm that was an important part of the criollo cacao plantation industry.

Our Thoughts:

The company sent two chocolate bars for tasting and let's face it, who doesn't love chocolate?

The Spicy Maya bar was far and above, my favorite! Dark chocolate with a twist of spicy! What a brilliant idea! You don't even realize it's hot until after the first couple of bites! And let me be clear, this is not an overwhelming mouth burning fire. It's almost like warming up by a fire on a cold night. It's just enough to let you know it's there.

The Ravishing Rocky Road was silky smooth milk chocolate with marshmallows and sea salted almonds. My mouth fell in love with the almonds and sea salt in this one! I'm not big on marshmallows, so I could have done with out, but then it wouldn't have been Rocky Road.

These chocolates were created and blended so flawlessly that I wouldn't mind spending the money to purchase another one, or two! The whole family loved these chocolate bars!!! 5 out of 5 stars for sheer brilliance!
