Chocovic is a high-quality chocolate manufacturer located in the Barcelona city of Vic, Spain. Originally, the company was started in 1872 under the name Chocolates Arumi, and got its present name after being purchased by a Dutch group in 1977. They are producing a series of single origin chocolate bars (see photos), in addition to couverture chocolate series, primarily intended for professionals.
The Guyave is made with trinitario cacao beans fram Grenada and has a delicious fruity flavor with slightly bitter aftertaste. The Ocumare is made with criollo beans from Venezuela and has a stronger flavor of dried fruits like plums and raisins. The Guaranda is made with forastero beans from Ecuador, and has also a nice, somewhat fruity flavor, although weaker than the two others.

Anthon Berg is in Europe well-known for filled chocolates and marzipan chocolate bars. They recently introduced a series of single origin chocolate bars: New Guinea, Ecuador, Ghana, and the latest one: Venezuela. The three first ones are dark chocolates, while the latter one is a milk chocolate. The New Guinea bar is made with Criollo and Forastero cacao beans and contains 72% cacao solids. It has a weak fruityness and smokey flavor like Scotch Whisky. The Ecuador bar is also made with Criollo cacao beans and contains 72% cacao solids. This one has a more flowery flavor with notes of spices, particularly cinnamon. The Ghana bar is made with Forastero beans and contains 60% cacao solids, and it has pieces of cacao nibs. It has a marked vanilla flavor and very weak fruityness. I have not tried the Venezuela bar yet. To me these chocolate bars are OK, but they do not match the quality of chocolate bars from Amedei or Michel Cluizel. [Photo: Hal]
