The couple behind the creation of this chocolate factory is the Venezuelan couple Johonny and Dubraska. They settled permanently in Italy and their dream was to introduce not only the Italians, but also the rest of Europe, to the taste of real chocolate made from Venezuelan beans. You won't find any other cocoa beans at the moment. You can taste the best chocolates made from white cocoa beans of the rare Porcelana, Ocumare, Chuao and Sur del Lago varieties. Johonny and Dubraska lovingly do all the processing themselves and it really shows in their chocolate. And what does AROKO stand for? In the language of the Chaima, an indigenous tribe inhabiting part of Venezuela, it is a chochol, a crown of feathers, a symbol of power and honour. In Venezuelan culture, this headdress is worn by indigenous tribal leaders and Aroko Chocolate wanted to pay homage to these legendary warriors. We are very happy that now you too have the chance to taste these delicious chocolates made from the best beans in the world.
