Zorzal (Mini) | Dominican Republic 100%

In diverse agroforestry systems connected to Reserva Zorzal, a 1,019-acre private bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic, Zorzal cacao is grown by farmers whose commitment to conservation and quality shows up in every harvest. This is single-origin bean-to-bar chocolate at its most uncompromising: no sugar, no additions, nothing standing between you and what responsibly sourced Dominican Republic cacao actually tastes like. Intense? Yes. Complex in ways that take a moment to understand? Also yes. But this is craft chocolate for the devoted, the curious, and anyone who has ever wondered what cacao really tastes like when you get out of its way. If you know, you know. Roasted and crafted in small batches in our Bend, Oregon roastery. About Smithsonian Bird Friendly®: This bar is made using 100% Bird Friendly certified cocoa.
