Awards: Good Food Awards 2012
According to Amano: “From the fertile Guayas River floodplain comes the pride of Ecuador — The Nacional cocoa bean, grown nowhere else in the world. In seclusion, farmers have cultivated a wild cacao into a balanced expression of untamed nature and sophistication. We handroast this bean, and, using our antique stone grinder, release its characteristic floral aroma. Rich nuanced notes of smoke, green banana, and blackberry will transport you to another time and place where magic and love abound.”
Ingredients: cocoa beans, pure cane sugar, cocoa butter, whole vanilla beans.

Amedei Porcelana 70% Extra Dark Chocolate
(Photo by EverJean)
“Porcelana is what happens when cocoa breaks all the rules of chocolate. An intense chocolate with a powerful flavor like no other, Porcelana is indescribably delicate at the same time. Its refreshing acidity leaves your palate clean and eager for another taste.”
“Aromas: A pervasive aroma rich in rare and valued woods, bread baked in a wood oven, and with a delightful note of olive pulp and bay leaf, evolves in a floral and powerfully fresh sensation of jasmine and white flowers.
Taste: Decisive snap, slightly acid at first then filling the mouth with notes of toasted almond and white flowers. It is a chocolate with a very long and eurhythmic aftertaste that harmonizes the entire palate” (Amedei)
Ingredients: cocoa mass, cane sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla.
