Gran Criollo
Gran Criollo is the artisan mix that brought our
"Amara Café" in Pasadena-California to the fame, as a paradise for hot chocolate lovers.
The blend is prepared especially for you in small batches, with the meticulousness and expert supervision of Amara Barroeta, a Venezuelan chemical engineer and passionate chocolatier who created her unique formula.
Crafted from the finest cocoa beans and premium ingredients, this hot chocolate portraits an array of aromas, rich texture and dark-red full body that will transport you to the 18th century Caracas haciendas or to the cosmopolitan cafes in Madrid or Paris.
