Acontia chocolates
The edible wines

The Spanish wineries Liba and Delight, with denominations of origin Ribera del Duero and Toro, in collaboration with famed chocolatier Ruben Dasilva recently launched a line of exquisite handmade chocolates. Dasilva lent his ample experience and knowledge to create these delicate hand painted sweets, refraining from the use of preservatives or artificial colors. The various types of cocoa used come from the prestigious Valrhona, a French label that specializes in luxury chocolate. During several months Dasilva worked to develop the necessary harmony, looking for composition, textures, colors and ideal pairings for chocolate that would result irresistible for those who tried it. With a sleek design, each chocolate has the unique flavors of Acontia wines: Acontia Ribera del Duero six months, Acontia Ribera del Duero 12 months, Acontia Toro 6 months, Acontia Toro 12 months, Acontia Verdejo 100%, and Acontia Ritual. The chocolates come in boxes of 6 or 12 and are beautiful gifts for lovers of wine and chocolate.
