  • We process orders in 3 to 5 business days. Or pick up in Wicker Park.
  • Chocolate ships Monday to Wednesday, so it isn't in transit over a weekend. Above 75°F, we pack it with insulation and cold packs.
  • Add a gift note in your bag. It travels with your order.

Start here. One country, two varieties, your first real taste.

New to single-origin dark? This is where to begin. Two 78% bars from the same Nicaraguan cacao, Tuma and Opayo, two distinct profiles grown in one country. Taste them back to back and you'll get why people who care about chocolate get particular about where it comes from.

Most chocolate can't tell you its origin. Ours can, because we make it ourselves, from the bean, at our own factory in Nicaragua, then finish it in Chicago.

Loved it? The Oro Ritual Club brings Nicaragua to your door every month. Start with First Ritual ($48/mo): a bag of single-origin coffee and a drinking chocolate, every month.

    Where it comes from

    Two varieties of the same Nicaraguan cacao, each fermented and dried its own way.

    Fermented and dried in Tipitapa through Ingemann, our partner cacao company, which we part-own and direct. Made into chocolate at our own factory in San Juan del Sur. Finished in Wicker Park.

    The cacao has earned 345+ international awards.

    Questions

    When will my order ship?

    We process orders in 3 to 5 business days, and a little longer in busy holiday weeks. You get a tracking email when it leaves. We ship across the United States and Canada.

    Will the chocolate melt on the way?

    Above 75°F we pack chocolate with insulation and cold packs, and we ship it Monday to Wednesday so it isn't in transit over a weekend. From May to September, orders placed on a Thursday or Friday may wait until Monday. Please have someone there to receive it, or ship it where it can come indoors: we can't refund chocolate that melted because a delivery was missed or delayed. For gift sets purchased directly from Oro, the 30-day make-it-right promise in our return and refund policy takes precedence over that exclusion.

    How should I store it?

    Somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from heat, sunlight and strong smells. Each product's own storage note is in the list above.

    Can I pick it up in Chicago?

    Yes. Choose in-store pickup at checkout and we'll tell you when it's ready at 1553 N Milwaukee Ave, Wicker Park.

    What if it arrives damaged?

    If your order arrives damaged, write to community@orochocolate.com with your order number and photos of the product and packaging. Please report arrival damage within 48 hours so we can help quickly. For gift sets purchased directly from Oro, our make-it-right promise lasts 30 days from delivery; the 48-hour request does not shorten that promise. We'll review the issue and offer a replacement or refund as appropriate. No food needs to be mailed back.
