Chuao Chocolatier (pronounced chew-WOW) is the first Venezuelan chocolatier based in the United States and Southern California’s premier artisan chocolatier. Founded in 2002 by Master Chef Michael Antonorsi, Chuao Chocolatier is on a mission to share joy with the world through deliciously engaging chocolate experience. Known for their culinary creativity, Chuao chocolates are crafted with joy, using an exclusive blend of premium, Fair Trade Certified cacao and high quality ingredients. Antonorsi was named Top Ten Chocolatier in North America by Dessert Professional Magazine in 2016. The company was named Chuao Chocolatier after the legendary cacao-producing region of Chuao (pronounced chew-WOW) located in central Venezuela. The decision was a reflection of Antonorsi's commitment to both high quality and his Venezuelan family heritage. Chocolate is part of his family roots, as their ancestors once ran a small family farm that was an important part of the criollo cacao plantation industry. Playful flavor combinations are at the heart of Chuao Chocolatier’s deliciously joyful experience including the International Chocolate Award winning Rosemary Salt Caramel bonbon, the Food Network favorite Firecracker Truffle, handcrafted with chipotle caramel fudge, popping candy, a hint of salt, and dark chocolate and Potato Chip, a milk chocolate bar filled with crushed, kettle cooked chips, named Best Chocolate in the U.S. by FoodandWine.com. Chuao Chocolatier' s decadent menu includes drinking chocolates, chocolate bars, mini bars, bonbons and truffles, and decadent seasonal creations. They now own and operate a chocolate boutique at their Joy Factory & HQ in San Diego county. Today, you can discover Chuao Chocolatier in the United States at retailers including Whole Foods Market, Target, Cost Plus World Market, REI, CVS, at fine restaurants & hotels including Omni Hotels and Parker Palm Springs, and in Canada at specialty retailers including Chapters Indigo.Chuao Chocolatier Address
