Baking Chocolate

Our European Style Baking Chocolate comes in three cacao percentages, 60%, 70%, 80%.  Made at our Jesus Maria farm using the same type of beans as our stone ground chocolate.  What's the difference?  This block of chocolate is much more refined with a touch of cacao butter to give the chocolate a beautiful sheen and waterfall effect. We use this chocolate in our chocolate-filled churros and our chocolate dipped strawberries.  This is our go-to chocolate for anything that calls for a smoother texture and needs a faster melting point without burning too quickly.  Feel free to use this as hot chocolate, grating it over your morning coffee, or just taking a big bite out of it. It's a different style of chocolate, but still from the same type of bean and same farm.

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.
