ABOUT THE ORIGIN

    Costa Esmeraldas, Ecuador

    partners since 2013

    Freddy Salazar, the owner of Costa Esmeraldas, produces unique cocoa that we make into one of our best-selling bars. On formerly dry pastureland and wild forest inaccessible by any road, he and his family created a 10-hectare farm and cocoa-processing facility. What began as a passion project for the Salazars has evolved into a thriving farm. In addition, the farm produces bananas and citrus, and 50 hectares of land have been left as virgin forest, creating a thriving habitat for flora and fauna.

INGREDIENTS & ALLERGENS

    Cocoa beans and organic cane sugar
    All of our single-origin chocolate is made with just cocoa beans and sugar; no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla. Our chocolate is free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten, and it is made in a factory that does not process nuts.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    Storage instructions:

        Store in a cool and dark place; back of pantry is ideal
        Best results somewhere between 40°F-68°F
        Keep away from heat and direct sunlight
        Keep away from strong odors
        Do not freeze
        Two-ingredient chocolate won’t go “bad” like milk chocolate or chocolate with additional ingredients (e.g. inclusions or nuts)
        If your bar melts or blooms, the flavor notes will still be present though the bar will have lost its characteristic snap. Feel free to use bloomed chocolate for making hot chocolate or baking.
