Product Details

Fall under the enchantment of the food of the gods. Savor the distinctive flavors of these masterfully crafted cacao creations, packed in a lovely handmade fair trade banana fiber basket from Uganda. (Read more about the artisans who make this basket below.) Filled with a variety of organic vegan chocolates, all fair trade, of course, each is an adventure in wonderfully different tastes and a chocolate indulgence to remember. There are double bars made from the cacao of Tanzania, Brazil, Ghana, Togo, Guatemala, and Belize, some from two hundred year old rare Criollo cacao trees. Like wine, each variety of cacao has its own unique flavor resulting from the aggregate characteristics of the environment in which it is grown. Relish the subtle nuances of cacao from around the world. With its fruity bouquet and whisper of olive and cinnamon, 72% Belize melts on the tongue as a mild and sweet chocolate, manifests an aroma of caramelized nuts, lots of sweet condensed milk, mildly floral, and finishes in blackberries and a beautiful aftertaste of grape and malt. 68% Togo enters with hints of peach and bush sour cherries, and sweet notes of licorice, marzipan, cherry jam, a bit of peach, subtly peppery, and a finish of fruit and almonds follow. A fragrance of berries, cherries, banana and peach, 75% Guatemala offers tastes of mild notes of lightly salted pretzel, sweet spice, an intense mix of fruits: notes of exotic fruit, berries, cherries, peach, watermelon, and a mildly peppery, fruity finish. Opus 5, 75% cacao, is a masterful blend of five cacao varietals, each roasted individually and combined to produce the ultimate cacao blend, offering its entire, vast cacao panorama. A very special Raspberry Coconut Milk bar invites with an aroma of berries, and the tongue is delighted with a slight lemon tang, subtle coconut and a very berry flavor. The Truffles and Bon Bons are divine with chocolate from Central and South America and the Caribbean. The dark chocolate Truffles have a hard chocolate shell with soft chocolatey ganache inside -- Hazelnut Gianduja, Coffee, Cardamom and Pure Dark. The Fruit Bon Bons hold fruity dark chocolate: Strawberry chew, Raspberry burst, Blueberry butterfly & Tamarind-Mango truffle. Travel on the magic carpet of your taste buds to the soul of cacao.
