That’s why we create interactive chocolate experiences that bring teams together—no matter where they are in the world.

We connect remote employees, global teams, and distributed partners through:
• Live virtual chocolate tastings
• Guided storytelling around cacao, culture, and craftsmanship
• Interactive moments that spark conversation, laughter, and real connection

First Miami Bean To Bar Chocolate Business!

Named Best Chocolatier by Miami New Times, Cao Chocolates was established in Miami, FL in 2009 for two Venezuelans, Ricardo Trillos and Anelith Ortega. Like other small businesses in Miami, we started our factory in a commercial kitchen until we set our own factory and retail in Pinecrest/Dadeland in 2012. In our factory we make Miami bean-to-bar chocolate (our raw material) using only two (2) ingredients: Cacao and sugar. The cacao beans are sourced from fair-traded farms around the world. Countries like Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Tanzania, Ecuador, Madagascar, and many more. We work directly with the farmers to obtain high quality cacao beans that turn into an unique chocolate bar. Why? Because the key of a good chocolate is the fermentation process and that is the farmer’s job. After we make chocolate, that is also single origin, we mold the bars and use the same chocolate to create truffles, bonbons and many other confections like gingerettes, mendiants, bake goods, orangettes and many more.

As pioneers in the city in the bean-to-bar chocolate scene, we dedicate a big part of our time to educate the consumer. Why? Because consumers need to understand the different between a commercial low price and quality chocolate bar and a single origin, two ingredients, crafted Bean-to-bar chocolate bar. How? We have chocolate tasting at our store every week, we give classes, and we are always educating ourselves to bring new information to our customers.

Since 2009 we have been part of different business organizations like Doral Business Council and Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce. From the last one, we had received several recognitions through the years: “2013 Diamond of the rough”, “2015 Overall Rising Star Award”, “Family-Owned business 2017 Diamond Award”. Also, have been featured in different media channels as NBC, WSVN, Miami New Times, Telemundo, Miami local magazines and more. In 2015, AP Agency used Cao Chocolates image for St. Valentine's Day coverage around the world.

In 2013, Cao Chocolates was featured as the only Florida business to be part of the American Express Shop Small campaign, and since then we became Neighborhood Champion for American Express Small Business Saturday Campaign of 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017. We can proudly say that we are changing Miami’s mindset about growing and supporting local businesses focusing on explaining the importance of shopping local.
