Ingredients: Cacao and organic cane sugar

If this chocolate were a wine, the back of the bottle might say: bright notes of citrus dance on a backdrop of deep, dark cacao

We stone grind this 79% dark chocolate for 5 days straight, giving time for the more bitter flavors to drift away and the fruity, juicy, nutty notes of great cacao take center stage. And because of this extra-long grind time, you might find this chocolate surprisingly approachable for a 79% dark chocolate. This chocolate is made from a blend of two of our favorite cacao origins: Maya Mountain in Southern Belize and Costa Esmeraldas in Northern Ecuador:

 

  • Maya Mountain is Belize’s first exporter of high-quality, centrally fermented cacao to craft chocolate makers in the US like us. Maya Mountain buys cacao from 420 smallholder farming families in the Toledo and South Stann Creek districts, many of whom are Q’eqchi’ or Mopan Maya who are continuing a tradition of cacao production that spans generations. We love the strong notes of berry and jelly that this cacao brings to our Northern Lights blend.
  • Costa Esmeraldas is a family-run cacao farm and fermentation facility on the lush coastal slopes of northern Ecuador. Owned and operated by the Salazar family, the farm combines traditional agricultural practices and more recent innovations in the post-harvest processing and fermentation of cacao.

This is a box that holds 40 grams (1.41 ounces) of fine chocolate.

Simple Ingredients

We make dark chocolate from just two ingredients: specialty cacao and organic cane sugar.

Transparent Trade

To us, "transparent trade" means knowing the people in our cacao supply chain and making sure those folks get fairly compensated for their time, energy, and expertise.

Sustainable Packaging

We are plastic-free and work hard to create nice packaging that is also recyclable or compostable. The clear bag inside of our chocolate boxes is made of cellulose so it is curbside compostable!

Made Fresh in Bozeman

We buy specialty cacao grown on farms in Central and South America, then make dark chocolate at our little factory in Bozeman!
