Dark Chocolate 70% cacao - Upala (Handmade)

Ariana and Paulo are the ones behind Theobroma cacao.
They are passionate about food and pulled by the question: “Where does this come from?” They have learned to move away from the mass production Industry to find the beauty in small-scale products.
They asked themselves this question while having a chocolate bar produced from West African cacao, full of ingredients impossible to pronounce, being aware of the poor working and living conditions.
So in 2021, they started their chocolate Journey exploring Costa Rica’s cacao.
Every chocolate bar is handmade, which is why they are unique.

This chocolate bar comes from different farms in the north of Costa Rica. Most of the farms still belong to local/original families. These cacao trees have a particular characteristic, in that they grew from seeds rather than being clones.
