Proud to be the first and only small-batch artisan bean to bar chocolate business in South Florida using only single origin cacao beans from small farms around the world.
Ricardo Trillos, Chocolate maker and Chocolatier, has traveled continuously throughout the years to learn how to make chocolate from scratch and how to turn this delicious cocoa liquor into the most finest chocolate confections.
“Cao”, as Ricardo is also known, decided to change his life career as accountant and turned this love for chocolate into a business establishing Cao Chocolates in 2009, to offer a wide variety of options to our customers, including Miami Bean-to-bar chocolate bars, truffles and bonbons made using cacao beans sourced from small farmers around the world, premium quality ingredients, and fine liquors. We proudly don’t add preservatives, oils, or any emulsifiers to our chocolate bars.
In 2012 we opened our first retail/factory location in Pinecrest, FL. Since then, Cao Chocolates has become a place-to-go to get fresh and unique chocolates confections with a friendly atmosphere and outstanding customer service.
During this sweet journey, Cao Chocolates have received several recognitions, including “Diamond of the rough” and “Rising Star Award” from de Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce. Also, have been featured in different media channels as Food Network (Guy's Groceries Game show 2017), 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. 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.
