A single-origin 100% cocoa bar sourced from Ocumare, Venezuela — the same storied growing region as Rio Caribe. Made exclusively with Fino Aromatico cacao, no added lecithin or vanilla, with notes of red fruit, ripe cherry, and cream. Like Willie's Rio Caribe 72%, this bar puts Venezuelan terroir front and centre. It comes from a single named estate region (Ocumare), uses fine aromatic cacao with zero flavour-masking additives, and lets the bean do all the talking — exactly the philosophy you've already bought into. The big difference is intensity: at 100% cacao, you're getting the rawest expression of Venezuelan chocolate. If you love the nutty, complex character of Rio Caribe, this is the next logical step — pure, uncut, extraordinary.
A celebrated single-origin Grand Cru from Madagascar, crafted by France's most revered fine chocolate house. 64% cocoa solids with vivid red fruit, raspberry, and citrus notes that make it one of the most distinctive dark bars in the world. You clearly love single-origin dark chocolate made with genuine craft and traceable provenance — and Valrhona's Manjari is the benchmark that bar in that category is measured against. Like Rio Caribe, it has a defined, named terroir and an unmistakably individual flavour profile with no shortcuts. Where Rio Caribe leans into coffee and nutty depth, Manjari goes bright and fruity — a vivid contrast that expands your single-origin repertoire rather than just repeating it. For a serious dark chocolate lover, this is essential eating.
A truly rare bean-to-bar bar made entirely in Madagascar — from seed to finished chocolate — by an award-winning Malagasy producer. 70% Grand Cru de Sambirano cacao, vegan, palm oil free, with the island's signature bright and complex character. Willie's ethos is about knowing exactly where your cacao comes from — and this bar takes that idea even further. Chocolat Madagascar grows, ferments, roasts and crafts everything in-country, meaning the terroir is captured at source in a way most other bars simply can't claim. You might expect Madagascar and Venezuela to taste worlds apart, and they do — but if it's the pursuit of authentic, unmasked cacao flavour that draws you to Rio Caribe 72%, this bar scratches exactly that same itch. An unexpected discovery from an extraordinary origin.

Perfect for those stepping up from supermarket dark chocolate for the first time. Available from Waitrose, Whole Foods, and online.
