Feliu Chocolate - Criollo Rioja 73%
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Ranked in the Top 100 Chocolates in the World.
Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is crafted by Feliu Chocolate in Guadalajara, Mexico, using rare Criollo cacao beans from the Rioja region of Peru. Rioja cacao is prized among specialists for its delicate but expressive flavour profile — a rich heritage cultivar that delivers complexity without harsh intensity. Feliu’s bean-to-bar approach highlights that nuance through careful fermentation, gentle roasting, and artisan refinement.
Flavor Profile
At 73% cacao, this bar is rich yet elegant. It opens with soft red fruit and raspberry notes, followed by hints of honeyed sweetness and light citrus, leading into a smooth, mellow cocoa foundation. The finish is clean and balanced, offering complexity without overt bitterness — a hallmark of fine Criollo genetics.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let a piece melt slowly on your tongue so the fruity top notes emerge first, followed by the creamy cocoa finish.
Pair this bar with a medium-bodied red wine such as a light Pinot Noir or Beaujolais to echo its berry highlights. For a non-alcoholic option, a bergamot black tea or floral oolong beautifully complements the bar’s aromatic layers. For texture contrast and flavour enhancement, try dried figs or toasted hazelnuts alongside this chocolate.
Summary
The Criollo Rioja 73% bar from Feliu Chocolate is a refined and expressive dark chocolate that showcases rare Peruvian cacao with elegance and clarity. Its nuanced fruit notes, gentle sweetness, and smooth cocoa depth make it a standout choice for lovers of terroir-driven craft chocolate.

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.
To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.
On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
