The term "fino de aroma" translates to "fine aroma" in English and is used to describe chocolate that has a distinct and complex aroma and flavour.

To be classified as Fino de Aroma, the chocolate must be made from cacao beans that have a specific aroma profile, which is determined by the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO).

Fino de Aroma chocolate is typically made from cacao beans that have a low bitterness and a high level of acidity, resulting in a chocolate that is smooth, rich, and complex. The cacao beans used to make Fino de Aroma chocolate are often grown in specific regions, such as Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, which are known for producing high-quality cacao.

Overall, Fino de Aroma chocolate is considered to be a premium chocolate that is prized by chocolate connoisseurs for its unique aroma and flavour profile, and classified in the top 8% of cocoa in the world.
