Cakes and desserts are transformed by the wonderful depth and complex flavour notes of the cacao. To create a completely clean palette for chefs to work on, we don’t use soya lecithin or vanilla.


All our chocolates perfectly reflect the distinct flavour notes of their beans, so you can choose the one perfect for your recipe.


Rio Caribe’s robust flavour and notes of nuts and coffee make it the classic chocolate for cakes and brownies. I find it pairs perfectly with brown spirits like brandy and rum.
