Ingredients & Details

cocoa nibs, sugar, cocoa butter

65 gram bar - Paris, France

(Please Note: This bar was formerly called "Santa Cruz.")

The cacao for this bar comes from the Santa Cruz plantation in Venezuela’s Aragua region, where Ara Chocolat works directly with producers to source exceptional Criollo cacao. That close relationship allows the makers to support the farmers’ expertise while ensuring the beans are treated with the care they deserve.

For lovers of Ara's Porcelana bar, this one is a must-try. The flavor opens with warm nutty notes and gentle fruitiness, creating a profile that feels both vibrant and comforting. Like the Porcelana, there's a silky melt that rewards those who can place a square on the tongue and just wait.

This bar was recognized at the 2025 International Chocolate Awards, a testament to the quality of the cacao and the care taken in crafting it. It’s a wonderful example of the distinctive character of Venezuelan cacao—pure, expressive, and satisfying.
