Matagalpa, Nicaragua. 800 meters elevation. Volcanic soil.

This is our signature bar. 78% single origin dark chocolate made from heirloom cacao grown by smallholder families across 32 communities in Nicaragua's highlands. Ingemann ferments each batch for 6 days using a cascade protocol. We stone-grind it for 72 hours in San Juan del Sur, then temper it by hand in our Wicker Park shop.

Tasting notes: Bold dark chocolate up front. Subtle red fruit in the middle. Earthy finish that lingers.

Pairing: On its own first. Then try it with aged rum or a shot of our single origin espresso.

70g bar. Store below 70°F. Best within 6 months.

192 international awards won by chocolate makers using this cacao. You're holding the source.

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!
