Dear Chocolate Lovers,
I’m thrilled to share some amazing news that’s as rich and satisfying as our finest dark chocolate. Here at Castronovo Chocolate, we’ve been on a delightful journey together, crafting and savoring the very best that artisanal chocolate has to offer. Today, I’m overjoyed to tell you that our craft chocolate haven in Stuart, FL, has received incredible recognition on the international stage!
At the prestigious International Chocolate Awards and the Academy of Chocolate Awards, our dedication was celebrated with the following accolades:
- Silver Medals:
- Sierra Nevada Milk Chocolate Bar
- Tumaco Milk Chocolate Bar
- Chuao: Venezuela
- Bronze Medal:
- Arhuacos 80% Dark Chocolate Bar
Additionally, we brought home the Gold for Chocolate Maker at the Americas award!
This achievement is not just a testament to our dedication and craftsmanship, but it’s a celebration we share with each of you who support and cherish our chocolate. Every bar, every bite is crafted with love and care, and it’s your appreciation that inspires us to reach new heights.
Our journey together started with a dream—a dream to bring the world’s finest heirloom cacao beans from remote rainforests to your table, while supporting indigenous communities and conserving our precious rainforests. Each award we’ve won represents not just our hard work, but also the impact we’re making together for a better, more sustainable world.
When you enter our chocolate factory, you are greeted not by the usual sugary scent, but by the pure, intoxicating aroma of cacao. That’s the magic of our bean-to-bar process. We’ve always believed in creating chocolate directly from the cacao bean, ensuring that every product is unique and authentically delicious. It’s Mother Nature poured.
And now, as we celebrate these accolades, I’m reminded of how far we’ve come together. From our cozy shop in Stuart to homes and stores across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even Paris and Tokyo—your support has taken us places we only dreamed of.
This success is not just ours, but yours too. It’s a proud moment for our entire community of chocolate lovers. Whether you’ve visited us in Stuart or enjoyed our chocolates from afar, your unwavering support has been our sweetest reward.
Thank you for being part of our journey, for believing in us, and for making Castronovo Chocolate a part of your lives. Here’s to more sweet victories and shared moments of joy.
With heartfelt gratitude, Denise Castronovo
