75% Cacao Criollo Dark Chocolate Bar
Savor the rare and exquisite bar made from heirloom Criollo beans - our 75% Single-Origin Criollo Dark Chocolate Bar. Only 1% of cacao trees worldwide are Criollo, making this variety one of the most sought-after and cherished by chocolate connoisseurs, if they can find them.
Unlike other cacao beans, Criollo features a unique white center, setting it apart from the typical purple hue found in other varietals. This exceptionally rare bean was once enjoyed by the ancient Maya civilization, prized for its naturally mild and creamy flavor. Often referred to as “nature’s milk chocolate,” Criollo cacao offers a luxuriously smooth texture without the need for dairy.
Sustainably sourced from our heirloom cacao farm in Tabasco, Mexico, this dark chocolate bar delivers an unforgettable sensory experience—rich, velvety, and subtly sweet, with none of the bitterness found in traditional dark chocolate.
🌱 100% pure, ethical, and sustainable
🍫 Dairy-free, yet unbelievably creamy

The Origin Story
One farm. One farmer. Every bar.
The cacao comes from Vicente Guiterrez at the Jesus Maria Plantation in Tabasco, Mexico — a 100-year-old farm in the original cacao-growing region of the ancient world.
“Cacao is a commodity product, but I don't believe in quantity. It's about quality. We grow with integrity.”
About The Cacao
Why this cacao is different
Minimally fermented → lower acid → more antioxidants
Our beans are fermented for fewer than three days. Less fermentation means lower acidity — and research shows it preserves far more of the flavanols (the antioxidants) in the finished chocolate.

Organically grown, using sustainable practices
Our beans are organically grown and more than fair-trade. We work continuously with our grower to protect the region and educate the community around the plantation.
