Dandelion Chocolate | Costa Esmeraldas, Ecuador

Tasting notes: chocolate ganache and blueberry jam on toast

The beans for this bar come from Freddy Salazar’s estate near the coast of northern Ecuador. Eric, our Origin Lead for Costa Esmeraldas, has spent time at the farm and was impressed by the close attention Freddy and his team pay to every step of cultivation and production — from pruning trees and managing disease in the field, to efficient harvesting practices, and careful loading of the fermentation boxes to ensure a clean facility. Freddy has built one of the most sophisticated processes we’ve seen, and it shows in the flavor of his beans. 

To balance the 2022 harvest's acidity, Freddy extended the beans' fermentation and drying. Eric crafts this bar to make chocolatey notes shine. 

Tasting notes: Chocolate Ganache and Blueberry Jam on Toast

All of our single-origin chocolate is made with just cocoa beans and sugar; no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla. Our chocolate is free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten, and it is made in a factory that does not process nuts.
