Río Caribe Superior

Chocolates Paria is an artisan producer located on the Península de Paria in Venezuela. The maker focuses on regional identity, transforming locally harvested crops into bars that reflect the geography of their home. This specific bar, the Río Caribe Superior, is a 92g milk chocolate production that highlights the characteristics of the Paria region.

The profile of this milk chocolate relies on a composition of cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, milk powder, and sugar. By omitting additives such as soy lecithin and vanillin, the maker allows the inherent qualities of the Río Caribe cocoa beans to remain the focal point. With a fat content of 32 grams per 100g, the bar maintains a texture that balances the creaminess of milk powder with the cocoa butter content.

All chocolates produced by this maker are certified organic, reflecting a commitment to agricultural practices in the Península de Paria. The quality of this approach was recognized in 2020 when the bar earned a Great Taste award. By sourcing beans directly from the Río Caribe region, the maker ensures that the supply chain remains localized to the Venezuelan coast.
