Beware, Switzerland! Brazilian premium chocolate is arriving

Brazilian cocoa has been consumed as part of the blend that makes most of the finest European chocolates forever, but the local product has always been something between wax and sugar candy (as much as I love Diamante Negro!). Well, that's about to change with the arrival of a serious player in the chocolate biz: Amma Chocolates, directly from Bahia to the world.

CoolHunting went to talk with owner Diego Badaro about his new sweet dream.

Why the sudden push now in Brazil for better quality chocolate?

Premium chocolate, or terroir, appeared in the last nine, 10 years. With Amma, things began to change when we started planting organic cocoa, also during that same time. The Brazilian rainforest has the biggest biodiversity per square meter on the planet. And our cocoa is planted in its shade. We have in the composition of our fruits, the essence of the richest elements on Earth!
