GARCIA-NEVETT DAY
Wednesday, August 5th, Venezuelan sisters Susan and Isable Garcia Nevett observed what has become the annual “Garcia Nevett Day” a recognition first given to them by the South Miami City Commission last year upon the national recognition given to them. The sisters have spent more than a decade perfecting their Chocolatier skills. Applying artisanal and European techniques blended with premium Venezuelan cacao and chocolate, they now provide the most award-winning chocolate in Miami.
On June 24th, Venezuela was hit by its worst earthquake in over 125 years. For this year’s Garcia-Nevett Day, they prepared a special box of their chocolates, nine handcrafted chocolates inspired by Venezuelan flavors, with 100% of the proceeds directly to Alimenta la Solidaridad. The message was clear: We Come from Venezuela. This One Is for Them. Every box purchased goes to feed a child.
