Grown in Ecuador’s Esmeraldas province — a region not traditionally known for cacao — this single-estate Nacional hybrid cacao is farmed on reclaimed cattle pasture by the Salazar family. Their meticulous approach yields exceptionally clean, consistent beans, thanks to a thoughtfully designed facility that prioritizes both quality and worker well-being.

With just one ingredient, this bar offers the purest expression of Costa Esmeraldas cacao: bold, intense, and uncompromisingly dark.
