Amano is an award winning chocolate maker based in Orem, Utah, USA and although Art only set up the company a few short years ago it has certainly earned a reputation of producing incredibly interesting and punchy chocolate. Some of the most noticeable bars are:

If you do live in Utah, or can get there, I’m sure you’re be rewarded by popping along to the Amano Artisan Chocolate Factory Store which can be found at 450 South, 1325 West, Orem, UT 84058.

Amano Guayas 70%

Amano Guayas 70%
I normally love what Amano do, they've created some fantastic bars in the past, but I just don't think this one reaches the heights of those previous bars.

Amano Morobe 70% Dark Chocolate Bar

Amano Morobe 70% Dark Chocolate Bar
This Amano Morobe 70% dark chocolate bar is a marvel of chocolate making. How Art manages to get so much flavour out of the bean is remarkable. If you are in a position to buy some, you most definitely should.

Amano Ocumare 30% Milk Chocolate Bar

Amano Ocumare 30% Milk Chocolate Bar
This Amano Ocumare 30% Milk Chocolate Bar is just no where near as good as its dark chocolate cousin. There's no real chocolate taste and too much of saccharine to be anywhere near as good as the Amano reputation which preceeds it!

Amano Chuao 70% Dark Chocolate Bar

The Amano Chuao 70% is a very intense, fruity, but yet dry dark chocolate bar. It won't be desired by everyone. But still, its a landmark in chocolate making!

Amano Ocumare 70% Dark Chocolate

Amano Ocumare 70% Dark Chocolate
The Amano Ocumare 70% Dark Chocolate is quite possibly the finest bar of chocolate I've ever reviewed.
