Aroko Chocolate

This year has changed our lives

It all began with one goal: finding a new home for our chocolate factory
In February, we found it, and from that moment, we haven't stopped dreaming

Over the past few months, we've sketched plans, imagined spaces, made countless decisions, changed our minds more than once, and poured our hearts into creating what will become Aroko's new home: an artisanal bean-to-bar chocolate factory built to tell the story of Venezuelan cacao in an even more authentic way

On social media, you usually only see the finished result. But behind it are hundreds of hours of work, uncertainty, excitement, and an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way

Today, we want to share a small glimpse of that journey, Because this project is much more than a building

It's the next chapter of a dream that began years ago and continues to grow thanks to all of you

And now, as everything is coming together, we can finally say we're on the verge of a new beginning, Very soon we'll be moving into our new home and putting the finishing touches in place before opening the doors of our new factory

We can't wait to welcome you, share this space with you, and continue writing Aroko's story from the heart of our new home

Thank you for being part of this journey
The best is yet to come 🤎🍫

Today we celebrate International Cocoa Day, but for us, it is about so much more than an extraordinary fruit

To speak about Venezuelan cocoa, the rarest and most exceptional cocoa in the world, is to reconnect with our roots

It is to tell the story of a remarkable country, blessed by nature, where generations of cocoa farmers have devoted their lives to preserving a truly unique heritage

Every chocolate bar carries the scent of its mountains, the strength of its rivers, the richness of its forests, and above all, the spirit of its people

Today, Venezuela is living through one of the most difficult moments in its recent history. A devastating tragedy has affected countless families and cocoa-growing communities

From all of us at Aroko Chocolate, we send our love, solidarity, and hope to everyone back home

If cocoa has taught us anything, it is that the most extraordinary things are born from patience, care, and resilience. And we have no doubt that Venezuela will rise again, because its greatest treasure has never been its cocoa, it has always been its people❤️‍🩹🇻🇪

This weekend we had the pleasure of taking part in SottoFava – Bean to Bar Festival in Saluzzo, Italy.

It was a special weekend, but also a very difficult one for us. As Venezuelans, our hearts are with everyone affected by the tragedy unfolding in our country❤️‍🩹🇻🇪

We would like to sincerely thank the festival organizers, especially , and everyone who visited our stand. Your kind words, support, and solidarity with Venezuela meant more than you can imagine

We will continue sharing Venezuelan cacao with the pride and respect it deserves

Not every chocolate is made to please everyone

Some exist for those who seek something rarer, deeper, and harder to find

Our Chuao is crafted from one of the world’s most legendary and scarce cacaos, grown in an origin that has shaped the history of fine Venezuelan cacao.

An award-winning chocolate, recognised among the best in the world, created for those who understand that true exclusivity does not need excess. It needs origin, time, and mastery.

Each bar expresses the strength of an exceptional cacao, crafted in Italy with artisanal precision while respecting its character, natural elegance, and sensory complexity

Chuao is not simply a chocolate to taste
It is an experience for those who know how to choose

Chuao 70%
Limited by nature

C’è una parte del cacao che spesso viene dimenticata,
Noi abbiamo scelto di valorizzarla.

La nostra infusione nasce dalla scorza dei cacao venezuelani che lavoriamo ogni giorno.

Selezionata, pulita, lasciata nella sua forma più pura.
Un’esperienza diversa dal cioccolato, ma profondamente legata ad esso.

Un rituale quotidiano, discreto ma ricco di significato.

EN

There is a part of cacao that is often overlooked,
We chose to give it value.

Our infusion comes from the husk of the Venezuelan cacao we work with every day.

Selected, cleaned, and left in its purest form.
A different experience from chocolate, yet deeply connected to it.

A daily ritual, subtle yet meaningful.
