Amano Chocolate

Those of you who may have watched Food Network this recently may have caught the "Unwrapped" episode where the chocolate manufacturer "Amano" was featured. If you were curious about this wonderful, American-made chocolate, we carry their Ocumare and their Madagascar bars for you to take home and enjoy!

Just a little tidbit-- the Amano Ocumare bar was voted "Best bar in America" by NPR and the Madagascar bar was voted "Best" of the Chocolate Salon 2007 in San Francisco.
