77% Dark Heirloom

Grown in the La Dalia region of Nicaragua, this Heirloom cacao is part of a rare group of beans designated by the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund, which works to protect biodiversity and endangered cacao varieties. Open the package right up, get your nose in there, and take a big, long sniff—the aroma of cigar smoke, black olives, and spiced rum will hit you. The taste is equally complex, with woody spices, earthy dead leaves, and pour-over coffee (no bitter espresso here), all balanced by hazelnut and golden raisins. It’s a dark chocolate experience like no other, complex and rich, making it a must-try for any true chocolate lover.
