5.0 Tropical Decadence

by Laurica from Fairfield, Ct on Nov 7, 2007

I first tasted Dark Chocolate Covered Guava in the San Jose Airport in Costa Rica and was instantly hooked. After living in Costa Rica for six months, I stocked up on this treat to bring home with me as a reminder of the unmatched local flavors and the fresh simplicity of tropical fruit. Each chocolate is a combination of a trip to open-air local markets and decadent dark chocolate.

5.0 Soooooo Good!!!!!!!!

by Lover Of All Things Costa Rican from Usa on Nov 7, 2007

Wow - I totally LOVE the Cafe Britt Guayabitas! I lived in Costa Rica for two months (enjoying them many times during my stay) and brought some home for my family to try too. They loved them as much and were actually upset that I didn't bring back more! But since Cafe Britt ships to the U.S., we don't have to wait until returning to Costa Rica to enjoy this wonderful treat again; in fact, I'm surprising my sister with a whole box for Christmas! Definitely give this product a try: tasty chocolate covering sweet guava jelly all in bite-sized little pieces - what a perfect combination! It's making me crave some just thinking about it! =)

Chocolate Connoisseur

Guava is one of the most gregarious of fruit trees, growing in many places around the world and almost universally known by its common English name. Known as guayaba in Spanish, the small fruit is thought to have originated near southern Mexico and throughout Central America.

Of the fruit’s more than 150 varieties, one is commonly known as the Costa Rican guava. White, fragrant flowers precede the round, yellow-skinned fruit. Inside, the flesh of the guava is highly acidic and naturally high in pectin, which is perfect for jelly making. Known for its strong, sweet fragrance, the flavor of the fruit is reminiscent of strawberry and pear.

In Costa Rica, Guayabitas are a traditional candy. We coat the prized guava jelly in premium dark chocolate, creating one of the finest samples of this locally loved sweet treat.
