Mabel Chocolates, La Romana, Dominican Republic

About this stone

A family-owned chocolate factory and shop with deep roots in artisanal chocolate production. The company traces its heritage back to 1921 in Venezuela and has carried forward its craft traditions after relocating to this Caribbean location. Here, visitors can tour the facility and taste products made from organic Hispaniola cacao sourced from throughout the region. The chocolate selection ranges widely in intensity—dark chocolate bars span from 50% to 100% cacao content—alongside cacao tea, nibs, cocoa powder, cacao butter, and liqueurs. The operation has earned international recognition for its commitment to quality. The grounds feature mature trees whose roots provide shelter and character to the surrounding area.
