Bars with awards
6 bars with cacao from Bolivia have award results on Chof, newest first. How Chof lists awards
What is Bolivia chocolate known for?
Bolivian chocolate is nutty and floral, with dried fruit, honey and a soft acidity. What sets the origin apart is its wild and semi-wild Amazonian cacao in the Beni region, harvested from trees that grow naturally rather than on planted farms, alongside cultivated cacao in the Alto Beni.
Bolivia is one of the few places where genuinely wild cacao is still gathered. Beans collected from naturally occurring stands in the Beni lowlands are usually labelled silvestre, and they carry a distinctive nutty, lightly floral character that cultivated cacao rarely matches.
The Alto Beni region supplies most of the country's farmed fine cacao, often through cooperatives. Bolivian bars are uncommon because volumes are small, so when a maker offers one it is normally a deliberate choice rather than a routine listing.
