Let's take a closer look at what chocolates you can expect to receive this month with the Kekao Box.
Goodio Chocolate
Founded in 2015, Goodio is a food pioneer with a big heart. The story started with a question: “What if there was a food brand you could trust?”. Goodio was created on the principles of sustainability, well-being, and transparency. It's a vision to bring Nordic-inspired flavors to a chocolate brand for the global consumer.

Dick Taylor Chocolate
Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate, based in California, is renowned for its meticulous bean-to-bar process. Using the finest fair-trade cacao and traditional techniques, they transform simple ingredients into exquisite chocolate bars. Known for their attention to detail, they roast, crack, winnow, stone-grind, and temper small batches of chocolate, ensuring quality and flavor. Their packaging, with its distinct, elegant designs, matches the sophistication of the chocolate inside. Dick Taylor's commitment to sustainability and direct relationships with cacao farmers reflect their dedication not just to great chocolate, but to a better world.
Dick Taylor Brazil Fazenda Camboa 75%
Dick Taylor sources the cacao for this bar from the Carvalho family's brand Cacao Bahia, in eastern Brazil. The cacao has been grown and exported by the family since 1942, expanding little by little to become the largest organic producer of cacao in the region. Fazenda Camboa's cacao is deliciously earthy and nutty on its own, but when combined with a touch of sugar, the flavors expand to include honeysuckle, walnut, and even fresh grapes.
Honey, Grape and Walnut
LetterPress Chocolate
Based in Los Angeles, California, LetterPress Chocolate was founded by high school friends David and Corey. Their journey into cacao began during a vacation to St. Lucia in 2011 when they tasted cacao pulp for the first time. In 2013, they started a chocolate blog called "Little Brown Squares" and began making their own chocolate. Their passion grew, leading to the opening of a factory with tours. LetterPress sources the world's best cacao, roasts each batch carefully, and stone grinds over several days to highlight the unique flavors of each origin they use.
LetterPress Mint Ashanti 70%
Using their Ghana Ashanti 70% Dark chocolate, they've added steam-distilled mint oil for a fresh mint taste that they feel is one of the best mint chocolate bars you can experience.
