About

Cardamom Black Pepper 60%

Amano is a United States-based artisan manufacturer operating as a bean-to-bar producer. This specific 85-gram bar draws its character from cacao harvested at the Dos Rios farm in the Dominican Republic, showcasing a focused approach to single-estate sourcing.

The 60% cacao formulation serves as a canvas for the inclusion of whole vanilla bean, cardamom, and black pepper. The resulting chocolate balances the base notes of the Dominican cacao with the spicy, resinous warmth of the cardamom and the sharp, dry heat of the black pepper. These spices are integrated directly into the cocoa butter and cocoa bean mass to ensure that the aromatics persist through the finish.

The consistency and quality of this production have been recognized with International Chocolate Awards Americas Silver medals in both 2024 and 2025. The product is also certified Kosher, meeting specific standards for manufacture and ingredient sourcing.
