Dandelion Chocolate, Tumaco Colombia 70% Dark Chocolate Bar

Tasting Notes: chocolate ice cream, walnut brownies, and wildflower honey

These beans come from the Tumaco region of Colombia, where a company called Cacao Hunters buys and blends beans from small co-ops, and encourages cacao diversity by working with farmers to cultivate regional varieties. Cacao Hunters then coordinates with Uncommon Cacao, a local business which provides cocoa to chocolate makers willing to pay a premium for high-quality beans.

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