SINGLE ORIGIN CHOCOLATE
Our single origin chocolate is sourced from one country, one region, and even one single Cocoa farm.
Like fine wine or cheese, each cocoa plant has its roots; an origin that gives it its typicality. A taste that connoisseurs — you, soon! — work to identify with pleasure.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF “TERROIR”?
It comes from the Latin word terra (Earth). Terroir is defined by the nature of the soil: its exposure to sun, wind, and rain; interactions between the species within its tissues; the impact of local yeasts and bacteria on the eventual fermentation process. Terroir is a cultural consideration that dictates local styles of planting, maintaining, harvesting, storing, and preparing crops like cocoa beans.
Many chocolate lovers are convinced that the quality of a chocolate depends solely on its cocoa percentage. In our opinion, this is only one criterion to consider, and further, it seems less essential to the complexity of the flavor than terroir.
That is why we have leveled each of our dark chocolates at 72%, so that you can experience the nuances in flavor without thinking about percentage. And trust us… what you will find in each of our couvertures will blow your mind.
THE COCOA FARM
When Comercializadora Semillas Aldama opened the plantation in 2006, his mission was to preserve the production and identity of the cocoa native to Tabasco, a southeastern state in Mexico. Fifteen years later, his company provides a network of local producers with everything they need to excel -- from the best plants to the most advanced technical support -- while Aldama’s center is dedicated to drying and fermentation. A strong future for a strong product!
