Amano Artisan Chocolate is an American bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturer based in Orem, Utah.2
Amano Artisan Chocolate was founded by Art Pollard in 2005, in Orem, Utah. Pollard's first harvest for the company was some rare white beans he got from Villahermosa, Mexico that same year. Up until 2015, Amano only manufactured single-origin chocolates.

Amano’s chocolate bars are made in small batches on vintage equipment, which allows the artisan chocolate maker to control and observe flavor development during each stage of manufacture. Amano’s chocolate making has evolved from Italian and French confectionery techniques. The company employs high proportions of cocoa (70%) in their chocolate, using bean from South and Central America as well as Africa and Oceania. Amano is kosher-dairy certified by the Denver-based Scroll K kashrus agency. The company also produces one-pound bags of chocolate coins for chefs.
