The Art of Guatemalan Milk Chocolate
Our milk chocolate represents the perfect harmony between Guatemala's exceptional cacao and the creamy richness of fresh milk. While milk chocolate is often overlooked in favor of its darker cousins, we've crafted ours to showcase why this style deserves recognition. The 25% Guatemalan cacao provides a gentle cocoa foundation that allows the nuanced flavors of our highland-grown beans to shine without overwhelming the palate.
The cacao for our milk chocolate comes from the same prized Alta Verapaz region that produces Guatemala's most celebrated beans. Here, in the cloud forests where ancient Maya civilizations first cultivated the sacred cacao tree, the volcanic soil and consistent moisture create ideal growing conditions. Our family-owned farm partners have perfected the art of growing cacao specifically suited for milk chocolate—beans with naturally sweet undertones and gentle acidity that complement rather than compete with the milk's creaminess.
The traditional fermentation process used by our farm partners develops the beans' natural sweetness and reduces any bitter notes, creating a cacao that's perfectly suited for milk chocolate. This careful cultivation and processing ensure that even at a lower percentage, our Guatemalan cacao provides depth and character that elevates this milk chocolate far above ordinary confections.
Creamy Perfection
The addition of fresh milk transforms our Guatemalan cacao into something truly special. The milk's natural calcium and proteins create that distinctive smooth, creamy texture that makes our chocolate melt luxuriously on your tongue. This isn't just sweetened chocolate—it's a carefully balanced composition where every ingredient serves a purpose in creating the perfect milk chocolate experience.
The result is a chocolate that appeals to all palates, from children experiencing their first taste of quality chocolate to adults seeking comfort in a familiar yet elevated treat. Each bite delivers the gentle cocoa notes of Guatemala's finest cacao wrapped in creamy indulgence.

CHOCOLATE WITH PURPOSE
Our milk chocolate, with its mouthwatering taste, promotes constructive change in Guatemala. We collaborate with local women farmers who grow exceptional cocoa to maintain traditional agricultural methods, provide fair wages, and promote sustainable practices. These skilled artisans understand that great milk chocolate begins with exceptional cacao, carefully tending to each tree using knowledge passed down through generations.
By choosing our milk chocolate, you're supporting farming families who have been guardians of Guatemala's chocolate heritage for centuries. Their expertise ensures that every bar captures the authentic essence of Guatemalan cacao, even in this gentler, more approachable form.
GUATEMALAN HERITAGE
Our chocolate starts in the verdant Alta Verapaz highlands, where Indigenous women farmers use years of experience to care for their cocoa trees. These remarkable women are the backbone of Guatemala's chocolate industry, maintaining ancient cultivation techniques while adapting to modern sustainable practices. Their deep understanding of cacao—from selecting the perfect pods to timing the fermentation process—is what makes our milk chocolate truly special.
This is a celebration of women's strength and Guatemala's rich agricultural tradition, and it goes beyond chocolate. Each bar represents the dedication of farming families who view cacao not just as a crop, but as a cultural treasure that connects them to their ancestors and sustains their communities.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
