Opayo is one of Nicaragua's rarest cacao varieties. Most chocolate blends varieties together. This bar is 100% Opayo. Single origin, single variety, nothing mixed.

Grown in volcanic soil in Nicaragua's highlands. Slow-fermented and stone-ground at origin, then tempered and finished in our Wicker Park shop.

Tasting notes: bright fruit and floral lift up front, molasses and raisin on the finish. Unlike any other bar we make.

One of several distinct varieties grown by the 1,000+ farming families in Ingemann's network. This is what single variety chocolate tastes like.

60g bar. Vegan. Store below 70°F. Best within 1 year.

Ingredients

Organic cacao beans, Sugar

Our products are crafted in a facility that occasionally handles milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy. While we follow strict protocols, we cannot guarantee any product is completely free of allergens.
storage instructions
  • Store in a cool, dark place (40°F-68°F) - your pantry is perfect! Keep away from heat, sunlight, and strong odors.
  • See a whitish sheen on your chocolate? Don't worry! This is called 'bloom' - it happens when temperature changes cause the cocoa butter to naturally separate. While it might not look as pretty, bloomed chocolate is still delicious and perfect for melting into coffee, baking, or making hot chocolate.
  • No freezing needed - chocolate is happiest at room temperature!
