About this product:
Discover the perfect blend of cacao and hazelnuts in our 67% cacao with hazelnut chocolate bar. Made with American hazelnuts purchased to a small high quality grower in Oregon to ensure the nuts in this bar follow the same sustainable approach of our cacao beans.
Our 67% cacao beans and hazelnut chocolate bar is a treasure for health-conscious chocolate lovers. Both cacao beans and hazelnuts are packed with antioxidants, making this chocolate bar a super healthy treat that's both delicious and nutritious.
- Made with just 3 ingredients: high quality and totally traced cacao beans, hazelnuts and unrefined cane.
- More hazelnuts than cane sugar: regularly, chocolate bars with hazelnuts are made with just a few hazelnuts, a lot of sugar and artificial hazelnut flavor. Our bar is made with a lot of hazelnuts! In fact, hazelnut is the main ingredient after cacao beans.

Full of real social impact: Ariel Lozano is a local leader who has been motivating the young to remain in the countryside with their parents to transform their farms into sustainable and profitable companies. There is a lack of young farmers in Colombia as low prices and unsustainable trade has negatively impacted the economy of families. However, companies like us, who directly trade foods paying higher prices allow small scale farmers to flourish and generate a desirable ecosystem for new generations.
- Product certifications: Non GMO project verified & GFCO Gluten free.
- Net weight: 65 g - 2.3 oz. per bar.
WE BUY CACAO IN THEIR FARMS' ENTRANCE
The logistic cost in rural Colombia is extremely high. Our farmers live in mountains far away from the towns through hardly accesible roads. This is one of the reasons why intermediaries exist.We come to each of our farmers farm and pick up the cacao as a fruit, assuming the logistic costs.
WE START MAKING OUR CHOCOLATES FROM THE POST-HARVEST PROCESS
Ever wonder why cocoa butter is added to a chocolate bar when the cocoa bean alone naturally contains 50%-60% of cocoa butter?It is added to hide off-flavors from poor post-harvest (or lack of relationship with farmers) like bitterness, astringency and acidity.We do not need to do this as we control the fermentation and drying of all the beans in our bars.
WE EMBRACE THE CACAO BEAN TO MAKE THE HEALTHIEST PRODUCTS
We believe that respecting the cacao bean starts with recipes free of extra cocoa butter and where the only % of cocoa content comes from the bean, which is naturally full of antioxidants and other healthy compounds. Our recipes use other healthy and specialty ingredients but start from the concept that to make premium chocolates you have got to work on producing top quality beans.
