Exquisito Chocolates, Miami
Miami鈥檚 Willy Wonka dreams ultimately came true with the opening of Exquisito Chocolates, the city鈥檚 very first chocolate factory, in the heart of Little Havana. This place is a fascinating combination of a front retail shop and a 1,200-square-foot production facility in the back, allowing visitors to observe the entire process of chocolate making through large glass windows. Those particularly keen on learning every step of turning cacao beans into chocolate confections, can sign up for chocolate making classes and get a full first-hand knowledge.
At Exquisito they like to 鈥淟atinize鈥� and 鈥淢iamify鈥� their bean-to-bar bon bons outputting classic Miami flavors like Caf茅 con Leche and Little Guavana made with fresh Redland grown guava, and Miami Vice dark-chocolate truffle made with cafecito and dulce de leche. Overall, this retail shop carries 12 permanent truffle flavors, a collection of single origin bars made from cacao sourced directly from partner farms, and other confections manufactured daily.
Curiously, the local brewers and chefs at Lincoln鈥檚 Beard Brewing Co., Azucar Ice Cream Company, and The Salty Donut have been utilizing Exquisito鈥檚 cacao husks鈥攚hich otherwise would have been discarded鈥攂y infusing them into beers, cocktails, ice cream, pastries and other items they produce.
