We make this multiple award-winning bar with beans from the Salazar family farm in the Esmeraldas region of Ecuador. The Salazars have over one hundred acres of carefully cultivated Nacional hybrid cacao trees. The volume of beans they harvest allows them to ferment and dry the beans themselves and the level of control they have over the cacao varietals they plant, as well as their post harvest processing, results in beans of exceptional quality and flavor. This is a well balanced bar with very low acidity, intense berry jam flavors and a long finish.
This bar is made with our own freshly pressed Esmeraldas cocoa butter, ensuring true single origin flavor and an exceptionally smooth texture.
For more information about the cacao we use for this bar please visit our Esmeraldas page.
