Seasonal Chocolate Products
Xoco bars
All the Deliciousness
Why seasonal production only? I create limited batches of carefully handcrafted chocolate using Cacao Beans as a starting point. Matching my chocolate creations to local products: creating exciting flavor contributions with fellow food crafters of the Rogaland region.
This takes time and research to be able to offer you my best selection every season. Art has an emotional power, to me is important to convey a gift of visual art for you to enjoy on each chocolate bar by giving them its own unique design. Award winning bars that are dairy free and vegan friendly.

This is me
…a cacao worshiper
I have being working with chocolate for 16 years, I am Corina Gimenez, a specialty chocolate maker living in Norway. As a culinary educated and experienced professional, I use all my senses and knowledge to create recipes with exciting flavour combinations: bringing a new twist to the Food of the Gods.
I feel honoured to bring a new trade to the already vibrant culinary life of the Rogaland County in Norway: a place I have being calling home for the past 12 years. My cacao/chocolate knowledge and experience is deeply rooted to my heritage as I grew up in Venezuela. This country is well known for its huge cacao diversity and 500 years of history in cacao harvesting. I have travelled far and wide across cacao plantations to learn first hand their processing practises and the farming life.
