Taza 60% stone ground dark chocolate: handcrafted in small batches from single origin Dominican cacao.

The 60% dark chocolate bar explodes with the essence of red berries, caramel, and mocha.

A touch of added cocoa butter and a hint of biodynamic vanilla bean rounds out the flavor.

100% USDA certified organic.

Founded in 2006, Taza Chocolate was born out of a desire to combine the Mesoamerican tradition of chocolate with a modern, high-quality product manufactured in a socially responsible way.

In 2005, Taza co-founder Alex Whitmore traveled to Oaxaca to steep himself in the history and culture of Mexico.

There, he learned about the pre-Columbian ritual of “xocolātl” in Latin America, and the customs that surrounded the transformation of cacao into a drink.

Having grown up eating European-style chocolate candy, Alex was surprised and inspired by the simplicity of the Oaxacan treatment of chocolate.

Compelled by the traditional method of stone grinding, and minimal processing of the beans, he was moved to start a business dedicated to crafting chocolates in this manner for a US market.

A company with a conscience, Taza Chocolate is sustainable, not just financially but environmentally, and are community focused.

The company produces 100% stone ground, organic chocolate using only the best ingredients while compensating growers fairly for their work.
