70% Cocoa Beans from San Jose Del Tambo, Ecuador (this includes 2% Askinosie cocoa butter that we make with the same beans). Your actual batch may have a slightly different amount because we experiment with texture (you will find the details by entering your Choc-o-lot # in the bottom left of the screen). Other companies don’t usually disclose the amount of cocoa butter, but we do.
30% Pure Cane Sugar San Jose Del Tambo, at least 200-years-old, is situated in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is said that the Quechua Indians used this little village as a resting place before journeying further into the Andes. At Del Tambo, the hills rise sharply until the tops are obscured by low-hanging clouds. The Rio de San Miguela, a fast-flowing river, along with just the right climate provides the land for some of the best cocoa in the world. The centuries famous Ecuador Ariba flavor is found in these beans. “…the very best chocolate bar made in America.” Jim White, Food Critic (Napaman.com) Download nutritional facts (PDF) See what Dr. Norman Shealy has to say about Askinosie Chocolate. Missing your map?! Although many of our customers enjoyed the map inside the package, we received more feedback saying that the map may be a bit frivolous and an unnecessary use of paper. Although we do believe the map adds an interesting design element, we share the perspective that it is one less piece of paper for each bar that we need to use. Price: $8.00  |
