What is the Best Chocolate in the World? Why Cacao & Cardamom is a Part of the Discussion

When chocolate experts and reviewers share expertise in rankings of the best chocolates on Earth, they judge the financial relationship of the source, categorically close-to-perfect technique, and flavours they cannot forget. Swiss and French names appear to play to the chagrin of all chocolatiers everywhere (to some, it's unfair) with Houston's Cacao & Cardamom making waves in more recent rankings because of their craft exploring South-Asian inspired artistries.

1. Award-Winning Flavors That Defy Expectations

For the bold, culturally rich flavors that come from Cacao & Cardamom's hand-painted bonbons and single-origin bars, they have set, and continue to raise the bar.

Passion Fruit

Experience the perfect balance of tart and sweet with our vibrant passion fruit ganache, made with real passion fruit puree enveloped in creamy white chocolate.

Lychee Basil

A sophisticated pairing of delicate lychee pâte de fruit and aromatic fresh basil, nestled in a luscious dark chocolate ganache for an unexpectedly harmonious flavor.

Guava Tamarind

Tropical guava meets zesty tamarind in this playful creation, featuring layers of guava pâte de fruit and ganache wrapped in smooth white chocolate.

Unlike large brand chocolate bars, these products are stories that you can eat. Every bite takes you on a journey through layers of texture and terroir.

2. The Craftsmanship in the Ratings

The chocolates we marked as best have three attributes of consistency.

Ethical Sourcing: Cacao & Cardamom partners with sustainable farms and uses single-origin Valrhona chocolate for premium quality.

Artisan: Each bonbon has a thin, shiny shell with a hand-painted cocoa butter design - comparable to desserts getting Michelin stars.

Small-Batch Freshness: Each piece of chocolate is small-batch and featured over a limited time, which means every piece is fresh and produced to exact standards - NOT to be confused with industrial chocolate.

3. How It Stacks Up Against Global Competitors

While some brands win awards for rare wild cocoa beans, Cacao & Cardamom stands out for its cultural narrative. Its Dubai Chocolate Bar and Knafeh Kisses blend Middle Eastern flavors with French techniques—a rarity in the craft chocolate scene.

4. Where to Find (and Gift) These Chocolates

Ranked among the best gourmet chocolate gifts, Cacao & Cardamom’s Three-Tier Dozen Box ships nationwide with a no-melt guarantee. Perfect for weddings or corporate chocolate party favors.

Final Verdict: A Contender for the Top Spot


The expression “highest-rated” is a subjective term. Cacao & Cardamom is noted by the industry, always innovates flavor, and strictly adheres to ethical practices, making it a rival amongst some of the best chocolatiers in the world.
