Chocolate, Jaguar Crunch (75g)

75g bar
75% cacao content

Our Jaguar Pure with a twist! Fresh roasted red cacao nibs add a rich crunch, dark bite, and an aromatic chocolate flavour profile to the velvet smooth albino chocolate.

Albino cacao (also known as theobroma bicolor) grows in ancient forest gardens of Mexico. Not only are these forest gardens habitat for fauna like the jaguar, they provide ways for indigenous communities to create safety belts of communal use around natural areas. This is beyond conservation, and is rooted in millennia of ecological and spiritual stewardship. Today, ChocoSol is proud to be part of a small cadre of chocolatiers, chefs, farmers, and artisans participating in the regeneration of the albino cacao, both through seedling planting and intercultural encounter, dialogue, and exchange, as well as through recipe development and intercultural learning. ChocoSol's Jaguar chocolate recipe integrates spices including achiote, mamey seed, and rosita flowers from the ancient forest gardens to give our Jaguar its memorable taste.

 

Made bean-to-bar
At Chocosol we make chocolate from scratch and are in control of each step of the process- from building long-term relationships with the farmers we work with around the world, direct-purchase and direct-trade sourcing practices- all the way to the chocolate making itself. We take raw cacao beans and roast, winnow, and grind them into chocolate all in our production kitchen in Toronto, Ontario.

Stone-ground.
Since the beginning, we have used volcanic stone-wheels instead of industrial steel to grind our cacao into chocolate. This is a more rustic approach, resulting in chocolate more richly textured than most commercial chocolate bars, making a bite of our dark chocolate an unforgettably rich and full experience. This method also means our chocolate retains more of the nutritional benefits of cacao- antioxidants, iron, magnesium, and much more.

Nutritious & Delicious.
One of our missions is to re-introduce the pleasure of simple, dark chocolate to a world full of candy bars. All of our chocolates range between 65% to 100% cacao content, are low-sugar, and are free of dairy, soy, gluten, nuts, preservatives, fillers, and artificial flavours. We only use simple, whole-food ingredients to change the flavour and texture of our chocolate bars- ingredients like raw vanilla pods, coconut butter, and dried chilis.
