ChocoPod – Chuao Chocolatier “Passion” passion fruit caramel

The blurb says “6 dark chocolate pods filled with unusual, unexpected and delicious flavors”

60% cacao

The box is very smart and keeps the sealed “pods” safe and undamaged. The inside has a blurb about their mission statement.

“We believe chocolate can only be as good as its prime ingredient, cacao. That’s why we named Chuao Chocolatier (chew-WOW) after the legendary

cacao-growing region of Chuao, Venezuela. The name represents our commitment to responsibility source the best cacaos in the world, and reflects our Venezuelan heritage.

In our San Diego kitchen we combine only natural ingredie

nts using our innovative recipes and apply artisan chocolate-making techniques to provide you with the ultimate chocolate experience.

Enjoy ChocoPod our way to bring you unusual, unexpected and delicious sensations.”

This chocolate is made with “100% natural Non GMO ingredients. Slave-free cacao. May contain traces of nuts and milk proteins”

The packaging was very attractive and well thought out, with lots of information being provided clearly.

Lots more info available on their website at http://www.chuaochocolatier.com

The chocolate is dark and shiny, protected well by the packaging it’s in good condition, even having come all the way from San Diego. The chocolate was dark and well balanced but spoilt by the sweetness of the caramel. There was s vague fruitiness but nothing I could distinguish as passion fruit. Far too sweet to eat more than one of.

The others enjoyed it a bit more than I did however, but all agreed it was too sweet.

Julian 3/10 (yeah, I’m kinda picky about chocolate compared to this lot ^^)
