Amedei searches the best cocoa plantations throughout the world's Equatorial zone to satisfy their passion for chocolate. They use only the finest varieties of cocoa, highly aromatic Criollo (rarest and most prized) and Trinitario (hybrid of Criollo and Forastero). These cocoas were on the verge of extinction before Amedei dedicated great care and attention to their revival. Amedei selects only the best beans, having their agronomists control the cultivation of cocoa on the plantations year around, paying top dollar for top quality. Amedei differs from many chocolate makers because they process the cocoa themselves, controlling the fermentation (crucial to reducing the bitterness of the bean and releasing the basic aromas) and drying in the country of origin, then roasting the beans in Italy so they can control temperature and time to get the best from each type of cocoa. Then they conch up to 72 hours and temper the chocolate to achieve the smoothest texture and mouth feel. Cecilia Tessieri is Maitre Chocolatier, who creates all the recipes for everything produced at Amedei. The result is the most exceptional world class chocolate!
