Jamaica, Bachelor's Hall 70%25 Dark
Tasting notes: Star fruit, mocha, spice Ingredients: Cacao beans, organic unrefined cane sugar, organic cocoa butter Kosher Information: Parve Back in 2014, we became obsessed with Desmond Jadusingh's Bachelor's Hall cacao after tasting what David considered the best chocolate he'd ever had in his life. David decided to wait until he was "good enough" to work with this extremely delicate and nuanced cacao. Five years later, David finally got his wish - we air-freighted in the cacao from Desmond in Jamaica and began carefully working with it. It's hard to overstate the incredible emotions that come along with this bar. Paying over four times the commodity price for the cacao, this chocolate is the realization of a dream.
White Chocolate Matcha - Kokoa Kamili
Located in the far south of Tanzania, the fermentary purchases cacao from farmers in the Kilombero Valley at a premium to encourage quality over quantity. With no access to electricity or paved roads, Kokoa Kamili faces challenges every year, but we feel the effort is worth it! For the first time, we are using Kokoa Kamili cocoa butter to create a white chocolate unlike any you have had before. Using our ceremonial-grade matcha tea from Japan, this is a fantastic combination you have to try! INGREDIENTS: Organic Kokoa Kamili Cocoa Butter, Organic Unrefined Cane Sugar, Organic Milk Powder, Organic Matcha Tea Powder Allergen information: Contains milk Kosher information: Kosher Dairy

The beans are washed prior to drying and we've found this cacao fascinating by its versatility.
Belize, Maya Mountain Cacao, 70%25 Dark
Tasting notes: Stonefruit, mocha, pepper. Ingredients - Organic cacao, organic unrefined cane sugar, organic cocoa butter. Kosher Information: Parve 2018 Academy of Chocolate Awards Silver Winner 2017 Silver Sofi Award Winner 2017 Academy of Chocolate Awards Bronze Winner Over two years in the making, our flagship bar is the result of working with Maya Mountain to plant over 4,000 hardwood and cacao trees on a new demonstration farm.

Tingo Maria, Peru 70%25 Dark
Tasting Notes: Caramel, mocha, berries Ingredients: Cacao beans, Organic Unrefined Cane Sugar, Organic Cocoa Butter Kosher Information: Parve Introducing our newest dark chocolate bar - Tingo Maria! Ucayali River Cacao sources from several areas in the Peruvian state of Ucayali. Having won numerous awards for our Private Reserve Ucayali bar, we wanted to explore some of the other fantastic cacao in the region which URC also ferments. Tingo María is a city on the Huallaga River in central Peru, set between Andean highlands and Amazonian jungle. It's the gateway to the biodiverse Tingo María National Park, known for Sleeping Beauty, a mountain shaped like a reclining woman.
Ucayali, Peru 70%25 Dark
Tasting notes - Star anise, mocha, pepper, cedar Ingredients - Cacao beans, organic unrefined cane sugar, organic cocoa butter. Kosher Information: Parve International chocolate awards - world silver award 2017 International chocolate awards - triple mmm judges award 2017 International chocolate awards - USA gold 2017 International chocolate awards - Americas silver 2017 Academy of chocolate 2017 gold award winner. Late one night in the summer of 2015, we roasted a test batch from the first-ever harvest of Ucayali River Cacao. These beans came from a region of Peru not normally associated with great cacao. But here we knew we had something special, thanks to the exacting standards of award-winning cacao expert Daniel O'Doherty. Ucayali River Cacao pays farmers a premium for their best work, and the level of dedication and care in the processing has been unlike any we have ever seen. We have strived to bring that same level of care to this bar. We're proud to bring back this most unique and interesting chocolate; one that must be savored and enjoyed with quiet contemplation.

Patanemo, Venezuela, 70%25 Dark
Batch #1 new release! We've loved exploring the depths of Venezuelan cacao for years, and are excited to finally bring you our very first production bar from the Patanemo region! Originally founded by runaway slaves, the village of Patanemo in Venezuela is derived from "paz tenemos" which means "we have peace." The trees grow at high elevation on a steep incline, unusual for cacao which normally grows in dense canopy in valleys. Patanemo particularly stands out for its complex yet familiar chocolatey flavor. Exported by Tisano Cacao, whose dedication to quality and the farmers is as strong as ours. Tasting notes: fudge, almond, blackberry Ingredients: Cacao beans, organic unrefined cane sugar, organic cocoa butter Kosher Information: Parve

Tasting notes: Caramel, peanut butter cup Ingredients: Organic cacao beans, organic unrefined cane sugar, organic cocoa butter Kosher Information: Parve The first and only São Tomé bar made in North America - we had to air freight it in. São Tomé and Príncipe is located on the western equatorial coast of Africa. The former Portuguese colony, the country has a terrible cast of slavery. Now one of the most stable democracies in Africa, São Tomé has some of the most unique soil and climate conditions for cacao, but remains extremely poor. Satocao was established in 2015 as a certified organic co-op of over 400 farmers from seven communities. We were able to secure a very small amount of the very best beans we sampled to create a unique blend for this limited edition!
