Dandelion Chocolate, Hacienda Azul Costa Rica Dark Chocolate Bar

The beans for this bar with chocolatey, creamy, nutty notes come from Hacienda Azul, a single estate just north of Turrialba in central Costa Rica. Cacao trees on the estate grow in a diversified agroforestry system, surrounded by jungle flora in a biodiverse habitat. Beans come from six especially high-yielding, disease-resistant genetic tree varieties selected by the Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), a nearby cacao germplasm and research institute. 70% Chocolate. Vegan. Soy free. Gluten Free. Kosher. Made in a factory that does not process nuts.

All Dandelion Chocolates single-origin bars are made with just cocoa beans and sugar -- no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla. Dandelion Chocolate sort, roast, crack, winnow, grind, conch and temper small batches of beans. Each bar is molded and wrapped by hand. By sourcing high-quality cacao and carefully crafting small batches of chocolate they bring out the individual nuances of each bean.
