Let's take a closer look at what chocolates you can expect to receive this month with the Kekao Box.
Taza Chocolate
Taza Chocolate makes stone-ground chocolate. Cacao is so complex in flavor that they want to let it shout loud and proud. That is why they do less to bring us more. They stone grind organic cacao beans into perfectly unrefined, minimally processed chocolate with bold flavor and texture, unlike anything you have ever tasted.
Taza Chocolate Mexicano Super Dark 85%
Taza's 85% Super Dark Chocolate Mexicano disc is the purest expression of Taza's chocolate. This new 85% dark chocolate disc has just two ingredients: organic cacao beans and (just a little) organic cane sugar.
Bold and Fruity
Jcoco Chocolate
When CEO Jean Thompson founded jcoco (pronounced jay-koko) in 2012, her mission was twofold: elevate the way people experience chocolate and turn an everyday indulgence into an opportunity to make a difference. We were thrilled to learn the company uses Peruvian chocolate made by Cacaosuyo. Today, jcoco is a cult-favorite among epicureans and has donated more than 3.7 million servings to organizations working to combat hunger.
Jcoco Contamana 85%
Jcoco 85% Dark is crafted from a single Contamana varietal of cacao sourced from the Quillabamba region of Peru. Quillabamba valley is in the beautiful Cusco region, near famed Machu Picchu and is known for its unique fine aroma cacao trees. The beans are fermented 6 days, dried 5 days with a low roast to retain much of the cacao's natural fruit flavor and acidity. The bar is low in sugar and high in antioxidants, heart-healthy cocoa butter fat, and rich, robust flavor.
Sour Cherry and Floral
Ranger Chocolate
Based on family recipes and named for founder George Domurot’s niece, a National Park Service Forest Ranger, Ranger Chocolate Company carefully handles each cacao bean to unlock nuance, regionality, and terroir-driven flavours in their chocolate.
Ranger Oregon Sea Salt 75%
Marou Chocolate
Marou Chocolate is a premier artisan chocolate brand founded in Vietnam by French chocolatiers Samuel Maruta and Vincent Mourou. Renowned for its single-origin Vietnamese chocolate, Marou is a pioneer in the bean-to-bar movement, emphasizing direct trade and close relationships with local cacao farmers. By sourcing the finest cacao beans from distinct regions across Vietnam, Marou crafts chocolates that celebrate the unique terroir of each area, resulting in bars with complex flavors and exquisite textures. Their commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical practices has not only elevated the profile of Vietnamese chocolate on the global stage but also garnered numerous awards. Marou's dedication to crafting luxurious, flavorful chocolates makes it a favorite among connoisseurs seeking a truly exceptional chocolate experience.
