Since 2009, the SPAGnVOLA brand has been changing the world of chocolate. SPAGnVOLA brings you a superior and exquisite taste -- an experience like no other. We use only the finest cacao beans harvested from our farm on the mountain slopes of the eastern part of the Dominican Republic. Our chocolates are handcrafted in small batches, bringing out the savor of the most exquisite premium chocolate. Coupled with traditional Caribbean Artisan blends, every piece exhibits a fine decadent design and aroma.

We cultivate and process our cacao beans the traditional way, hand picking perfectly ripened pods, fermenting, drying and grading our cacao beans to insure the finest make its way to our factory. Upon arrival, we roast, winnow and refine our cacao into premium chocolate. Afterwards we carefully handcraft our premium bars, bonbons, and truffles.

Today, SPAGnVOLA represents the finest single-estate chocolates derived from the hands of farmers. We believe that the finest chocolates in the world can only be produced by cacao growers, such as SPAGnVOLA, and from their respective geographical locations. It is with this commitment that we have established a meticulous quality assurance through which SPAGnVOLA chocolate is processed. Evolving from that process is a brand of chocolate that is specifically designed for the most demanding customers -- you.
