El Ceibo Bolivia 70% Dark Chocolate

This 70% dark chocolate offers a rich, intensely flavored profile with distinct tasting notes of fruit and spice. These complex flavors come directly from the small-batch processing of the Bolivian rainforest cacao. The high percentage gives it a deep, authentic chocolate taste without being overly bitter.

The bar is produced by El Ceibo, a prominent cooperative made up of indigenous cacao farmers in the Bolivian Amazon. They are unique because the farmers who harvest the raw cacao also own and operate the chocolate factory. This ensures the chocolate is crafted entirely in Bolivia from bean-to-bar.

Yes, El Ceibo operates as a fair-trade cooperative, ensuring that the cacao beans are grown and harvested ethically. The indigenous farmers who grow the cacao directly share in the profits of the chocolate production. This cooperative model provides sustainable wages and supports local rainforest communities.

Unlike mass-produced chocolate, El Ceibo utilizes cacao beans grown and harvested directly from the Bolivian rainforest in small batches. This single-origin, bean-to-bar approach highlights the natural terroir of the region. The cooperative model ensures the chocolate is entirely farmer-owned from start to finish.
