Vasalissa Truffles/Domes

Vasalissa Callao 1940, Buenos Aires, Argentina Also at 3 other locations in Buenos Aires Vasalissa imports all of its chocolates straight from Belgium, so it has a much more European feel to it than the other chocolate brands, although for that feel it also charges at least three times as much. I paid higher prices for this...

Viejo Oso Truffles/Bonbons

Viejo Oso La Pampa 2120, Belgrano, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Also at: Montevideo 1594, Barrio Monk, Buenos Aires, Argentina Overall, way better than most chocolate in Argentina, rivaled only by the likes of Mamushka. There are interesting, unique flavors, but not at the cost of chocolate quality. Truffles are outstanding...

Abuela Goye

Abuela Goye Mitre 258, Bariloche, Argentina Also in Buenos Aires Great milk chocolate and second only to Mamushka and Viejo Oso in that department. Milk chocolate is almost flawless, and I would almost exclusively buy milk chocolate from this store, since the other types of chocolate tend to be horrible. This isn’t so much of a...

Fenoglio (Museo de Chocolate)

Bonifacio

Bonifacio Artisanal Chocolate Producer Located at Mitre 171, Bariloche, Argentina Good pieces with chunks/nuts in them, but horrible quality in general. The chocolate is overly sweet, to the point of being cloying, especially in the case of the milk chocolate. Only good for fruity/unique pieces. Pieces I had: Hits: Frutilla con...

Mamushka

Mamushka Artisanal Chocolate Producer Mitre 298, Bariloche, Argentina. Also found in Buenos Aires. Mega Keeper! Hands down, my favorite brand of chocolate in Argentina. It is so good that I would say it’s comparable to, if not better than, most all of the brands I tried in Europe, including the ones in Belgium. There are no...
