A chocolate Chilean was highlighted among the 100 best in the world by the Taste Atlas culinary guide, which evaluates traditional products and flavors from different countries. The distinction went to Óbolo Chocolate, a brand that was born with the purpose of making everything from the bean to the bar, betting on a responsible production model of national origin.
The Chilean chocolate brand that was recognized as one of the 100 best

Their proposal is based on a simple principle: making Chilean chocolate with its own identity, using cocoa beans carefully selected in Amazonian regions and processed entirely in Chile. The brand has managed to position itself for its commitment to sustainability and its artisanal style.
