Amano Artisan Chocolate is a new chocolate company just starting out, but what makes them noteworthy is that they will be making chocolate here in the U.S. all the way from the beans. This means they will handle the chocolate-making process from the raw cacao beans all the way to the finished chocolate. Much of the equipment they are using is vintage chocolate-making equipment imported mostly from Europe.
They sent me a sample of a batch they just made and WOW is it good. It was 70% cocoa solids so it was a very dark and rich chocolate. It had some incredible flavor with some great fruity undertones to it. It’s really hard to describe, but soooooo good. They are still perfecting their recipes, but if the samples I tried are any indication of things to come, they will be making some great chocolate. Look for Amano Artisan Chocolate to open for business later this year.
That’s awesome.
Three cheers to Amano for keeping it all within their control and, according to you, of high caliber too.
There’s too much junky chocolate in this world, and it isn’t worth the cost, monetarily or calorically. LOL

September 15th, 2007 at 10:41 amReading your review, I know that you are a real chocolate amateurish :-))
I am too….
That said, as I live in France, I am happy to know that there are good artisans that try to do some great chocolate things in America.
I wish them and you great success
Regards
