Chuao 100%

The Chuao 100% is a signature creation from chocoMe, an artisan producer based in Budapest, Hungary. This bar represents a focus on purity, as it is composed exclusively of cocoa beans without added sugar, lecithin, or vanilla. The cacao is sourced specifically from the Empresa Campesina Chuao farm lot, a location globally recognized for its history and quality in cacao cultivation.

The sensory experience is defined by the unique genetics of the Venezuelan beans, which consist of a hybrid of Criollo varieties. These beans undergo a traditional process, including being sun-dried in the village church square, the Plaza de Secado. On the palate, the chocolate presents a complex and rounded profile, characterized by an aromatic quality and a balanced medium fruity acidity.

In recognition of its production standards and flavor profile, the bar received a Silver award at the International Chocolate Awards in 2026. The producer focuses on highlighting the raw character of the Chuao harvest, ensuring that the labor-intensive drying methods used by the farming community are preserved within the finished bar.
