ABOUT THE CHOCOLATE:

This chocolate is made using direct-trade cacao from the oldest farm in Huila, Colombia. The trees on this farm originate from the early 1800s and produce impossibly-rich cacao.

Ricardo Guzmán Álvarez emigrated with his two brothers from Spain to Colombia in 1820. Finding cacao growing naturally on his purchased plot of land, he did what anyone would do—he planted more.

This incredible family operation is Finca Casa Blanca; named for the original farmhouse on the property. The farm is now managed by Ricardo's great-great grandson, Reynaldo Guzmán Romero. Thanks to his care, the oldest trees on this beautiful property still produce high-quality beans to this day.

Bean-to-bar is the farm-to-table movement for chocolate— it's why we source our cacao beans directly from cacao farmers with whom we've establish strong relationships. Back in Toronto we craft every bar ourselves, roasting the raw beans and mixing the liquid chocolate. This single-origin approach showcases the pure and unique flavors of each cacao region, sharing the heritage and heart of our partner farms.

Great taste and packaging

Love the notes of this chocolate, it was a gift and the person really enjoyed (had a change to try it as well), but the packaging got my attention. Loved the design featured!

Surprisingly fruity

When I read the tasting notes, I took it with a grain of salt - similar to wine or coffee - but was pleasantly surprised at how fruity and sweet this was. Barely any of the chalkiness or bitterness that often comes with 80%+ chocolate.
