My son's wedding is at the end of this month; it is a tradition for generations to offer chocolates at our parties. My family loves dark chocolate. Due to the Covid restrictions was not able to bring chocolates from Venezuela. Venezuelan cacao is one of the best qualities in the world. Then, a friend living in Houston gave me the contact of Araya Artisan Chocolate. To my great surprise, the people in Artisan are so nice. Their chocolates are handcrafted following the French and Belgian styles using Venezuelan chocolates. They prepared the wedding favors as I required and delivered them to my home in Jersey. Maria supported me, and one of the Owners, Rocco De Grazia, helped with this order. We tested them last weekend before the wedding; we were in heaven. They have the right flavor combination with scrumptious chocolate filled with chipotle or ginger or marzipan or cinnamon or port wine or mango, or passion fruit. Really a wide selection for all tastes. If you want to get chocolates. Araya Artisan Chocolate is the place to go. Maria Elizabeth...

Overall I prefer Cacao & Cardamom, but as I said, if you enjoy subtle flavors definitely give this...
