From Venezuela to Italy, the story of a land that smells of cocoa.
Welcome to our chocolate factory
We are an Italian company that produces chocolate following the artisanal method known as "Bean to Bar". In addition, we use exclusively high-quality cocoa beans from Venezuela.
Our mission: to offer you a journey of taste
Aroko was born from the desire to introduce the public to the full quality and diversity of Venezuelan cocoa. Because there's more to chocolate than just one type; on the contrary, there are as many types as there are varieties of cocoa beans. And no country has as many varieties as Venezuela.
From Venezuela to Italy, with taste
We are Dubraska and Johonny, a Venezuelan couple who have lived in Italy for about ten years. We decided to embark on this adventure to bring everyone a little piece of the land where we grew up.
Why Aroko?
In the Chaima language of the indigenous people who populated part of Venezuelan territory, "Plume" means "Crown of Feathers," a symbol of power and honor. Venezuelan culture often pays tribute to the various Caciques—indigenous leaders—by naming cities or geographic areas where they ruled; we wanted to pay tribute to all these legendary warriors.
Honesty Transparency Uniqueness Flavor
We work directly with various cocoa producers throughout Venezuela. After carefully evaluating their processing methods and the sustainability of their production, we select what we believe to be the best beans available and process them with respect to produce the finest chocolate made with that cocoa.
