Cao Chocolates is a small South Florida chocolatier that makes bean-to-bar chocolate from single-origin cacao sourced from small farms around the world. The operation emphasizes small-batch production and does not use preservatives, oils, or emulsifiers in its bars.

Its product line includes Miami Bean-to-bar bars, along with truffles and bonbons for customers seeking artisanal chocolate experiences. Cao Chocolates has received local recognition from the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce and has been featured by media outlets such as Food Network, NBC, and Telemundo; it also participated in the American Express Shop Small program in 2013 as the only Florida business and later served as Neighborhood Champion for Small Business Saturday campaigns through 2016.
