About the bar
Stone ground, organic 70% dark Mexican-style chocolate discs with a sprinkle of sea salt stirred in, for the perfect sweet & salty balance. These rustic, minimally processed discs let you experience chocolate with true grit! Two discs in each package, perfect for sharing. This is an unusual chocolate that is very easy to munch!
Annalisa Barbieri, The Observer’s chocolate correspondent, writes in her series Notes on Chocolate that “Taza chocolate is resolutely not silky-smooth chocolate but stone ground, so it’s rustic, a bit caveman, gritty, rough. If you like your coffee ristretto, Taza is the chocolate for you.
About the maker
Alex Whitmore, the founder of Taza Chocolate, first tried traditional Mexican stone-ground chocolate on a holiday in Oaxaca and was inspired to bring this unique form of chocolate to the US. He apprenticed under a molinero to learn how to craft the very best stone-ground, unrefined chocolate using hand-crafted molinos, or mill stones. This method foregoes the usual refining and conching steps of the chocolate-making process, giving a chocolate closer in style to the original bars of the nineteenth century, still popular in parts of Mexico and South America today.
