70% Dark Chocolate with Lime & Chilli Nibs

Baianí Chocolates is rooted in the heritage of the Pinheiro and Aquino families, who have cultivated cacao in southern Bahia since the late 1800s. This legacy inspires their mission to craft exceptional Brazilian chocolate from tree to bar.

Juliana and Tuta Aquino, both born in Bahia, spent years abroad building careers in music—Juliana as a singer and Tuta in the New York music industry—before returning to Brazil. After earning a degree in Gastronomy, Juliana reconnected with her family’s cacao farm, Fazenda Santa Rita, and began experimenting with chocolate, quickly gaining recognition for her work.

At the same time, Tuta dedicated himself to rebuilding the farm, which had been devastated by the Vassoura de Bruxa disease. Their combined efforts and passion for cacao led them to create Baianí Chocolates, a project that blends family tradition, innovation, and sustainable farming to share the true flavor of Brazilian cacao with the world.

Discover a truly unique Brazilian chocolate experience with Baianí’s 70% Lime & Chili Nibs, crafted from tree to bar in Bahia. This artisanal dark chocolate blends the bright acidity of fresh lime with the gentle heat of Pimenta Bode, a chili traditional in Bahian cuisine. The result is a perfectly balanced bar where the flavor of high-quality cacao remains at the center.

To achieve this harmony, Baianí tested multiple recipes, chili varieties, grinding times, and proportions until finding the ideal combination. Even those who don’t usually enjoy spicy chocolate will appreciate this smooth, aromatic, and subtly spicy sensory journey.

Made with cacao grown in an agroforestry system in the Atlantic Forest, this chocolate highlights the richness of Brazilian terroir and Baianí’s commitment to sustainable, transparent production.
