Cao Chocolates

About Us: Recognized as Miami's premier chocolatier in 2019 by Miami New Times, Cao Chocolates was founded in 2009 by two visionary Venezuelans, Ricardo Trillos and Anelith Ortega. Our factory is a haven where we meticulously transform just two ingredients—Cacao and pure cane sugar—into the heart and soul of our creations.

Sourcing: At the core of our craft is sourcing the finest cacao beans from fair-trade farms spanning the globe. From the lush fields of the Dominican Republic to the vibrant landscapes of Venezuela, Nicaragua, and beyond—our journey takes us to cacao havens like Honduras, Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Tanzania, Ecuador, Madagascar, and more. We establish direct partnerships with farmers, ensuring the superior quality of our raw materials. The secret to exceptional chocolate lies in the meticulous fermentation process—handled with care by these dedicated farmers.

Artistry: The journey continues as we craft our exquisite chocolate bars, each with its distinct single origin. From this chocolate canvas, we create a symphony of flavors, infusing our creations with unparalleled passion and dedication. The same singular chocolate forms the basis for our artistic truffles, bonbons, and a delightful array of confections including gingerettes, baked goods, orangettes, and beyond.
