A Taste of a Great Story
Our story begins with the journey of Vicente Franceschi Vicentelli, who arrived to Venezuela in 1828 from Corsica, France. Vicente settled in Carúpano, State of Sucre, a remote place where he would soon begin to forge his bond with our cacao.
Almost two centuries later, Vicente's passion resulted in a family business vigorously dedicated to conserving the world's finest cacaos and commercializing exquisite chocolates.
Vicente founded Hacienda San José in 1830, where today, the best Criollo cacaos in the world can be found, thanks to the intense research work begun by the fifth generation of the family in the early 90s.
By 2010, Franceschi Chocolate was born, by the hand of the sixth generation of the family, filled with their boundless desire for innovation, with their processing center and staff trained—both physically and spiritually—to achieve the correct perception of the distinctive personality of each cacao variety.
