DARK CHOCOLATE 80% CACAO

Juan Choconat transforms cacao from the fruit, buying it directly from the most vulnerable farmers in Colombia. The faces you see in the packaging are the real farmers who harvest the rarest & finest cacao varietals, utilized in these bars.

  • Made with just 2 ingredients: cacao nibs and unrefined cane sugar.
  • The finest genetics: the trees that produce the beans used in this chocolate are all creole hybrids, the finest cultivar which grows in isolated areas affected by war in Colombia. Less than 2% of the cacao tree population in the world comes from this variety.

  • Net weight: 2.3 oz per bar.

REAL DIRECT TRADE!

Nowadays, it seems like everyone claims to practice direct trade—at least, that’s how it’s marketed!

_

What sets us apart is our genuine commitment to trading directly with small-scale farmers. We personally visit their farms, where we pick up cacao at its source, right at the entrance.

-

This hands-on approach ensures that we build authentic relationships with the farmers and support their livelihoods directly.

CONTROLLED FERMENTATION

Controlling fermentation is crucial for producing exceptional cacao and setting us apart in the industry.

By perfecting this process, we can eliminate the need for added cocoa butter, resulting in healthier chocolate.

-

During fermentation, the bitterness, astringency, and acidity of the beans are reduced, while the natural aromatics of cacao are enhanced through the interaction of yeasts, sugars, and acids.

PURE CHOCOLATE PIONEERS!

We’ve been fighting against the use of extra cocoa butter for nearly a decade!

-

Most companies take shortcuts by using low-quality beans and masking their deficiencies with added cocoa butter. This practice not only undermines the quality of the final product but also hampers industry specialization.

-

By focusing on perfecting fermentation, we’re committed to elevating both the quality of our chocolate and the livelihoods of the farmers we work with.

Smooth and delicious

Lovely raw feeling taste. Slightly crumbly and most definitely not your average store bought brand. Expensive but perfect as a treat. I use dark chocolate a a treat as part of a lower carb diet.

This is how I imagine chocolate was always supposed to be.

A delicious intense chocolate taste with hints of wood smoke and nuts.

Trust it!

The flavor of these bars is worth the premium price. I was unsure at first but I can say it really fits the price after trying this 80% cocoa (or cacao, as they write it). This 80% was my favorite but the 100% was good too. I am just not the man to eat a whole bar of 100% cocoa. What makes this chocolate worth is the unusual flavors. I though a lot about the flavors I was experiencing while the chocolate was melting in my mouth and tasted something citric like lemon peel or lime, banana, plums, wooden notes similar to those tasted in whisky, and spices. I will make a second order with this bar and the non-roasted ones.

Outstanding and a lot of notes

I like dark chocolate and this one surprised me. I did not know cocoa butter is counted as part of the percentage of cocoa. I checked other bars at home and all of them have added cocoa butter which motivated me to try this brand. The taste is very complex, with a lot of fruit notes. It is very different than other bars with only chocolate or a few notes. I experienced many flavors in this bar, raisins, red berries and caramel being the most dominant.
