Amano is a chocolate manufacturer with the intention of reviving the art of a chocolatier. Although the chocolate is imported from many locations in the world, it is in fact manufactured in the USA. Amano manufacturers the chocolate is small batches straight from the beans. There is no extra processing like most major chocolate makers.
Jembrana is a dark chocolate bar from Amano. The beans are from Indonesia and Amano backs up their statement with their Single Origin Guarantee. Jembrana is 70% cocoa with natural flavors of figs, spice, and honey. It is indeed bitter like most dark chocolate but not too bitter like many out there. It has a sweet aftertaste most likely due to the honey. Check out their website for information.

This is excellent chocolate. I also reviewed it here with some pictures – http://www.godairyfree.org/Product-Reviews/Chocolate-and-Candy/Amano-Artisan-Dark-Chocolate-Bars-Vegan-Gluten-Free-Soy-Free.html
Lucky me! They are local to where I live… and next to on my review list. But their Dos Rios bar is a gem!
