Everything in this chocolate bar:

Cacao:   Costa Esmeraldas
Origin:  Ecuador
Costa Esmeraldas is a single-estate cacao agroforestry farm owned and operated by the Salazar family in Northern Ecuador. The Salazars have rehabilitated mono-culture farmland by interplanting native trees and vegetation with their Nacional cacao and creating biodiverse wildlife corridors that attract native and endangered species throughout their farm. They also carefully and meticulously handle the delicate post-harvest fermentation and drying processes to bring out the rich, dried-fruity flavors unique to this region.
