What Kind of Chocolate Does Amedei Make?
Amedei makes many different kinds of chocolate treats. You can find their delicious chocolate bars, as well as fancy truffles and pralines. They are known for using very specific types of cocoa beans. These beans often come from just one place, which gives their chocolate a unique flavor.
Amedei Porcelana: A Famous Chocolate
One of Amedei's most famous products is called Amedei Porcelana. This chocolate is known for being one of the most expensive chocolates in the world. It gets its name from a special type of cocoa bean. These rare beans are called "Porcelana" because they are a pale, almost white color, like fine porcelain.
Where Does Amedei Get Its Cocoa?
Amedei is very careful about where they get their cocoa beans. For some of their special chocolates, like Amedei Porcelana, they get cocoa from a region in Venezuela called Chuao. This area is famous for growing excellent cocoa beans.
