VIA Guatemala Chocolate - Almond Dark Chocolate Bar
SOOO GOOD... YOU WON'T WANT TO SHARE!
Try our dark chocolate bar with almonds for the ideal crunch. Rich 70% Guatemalan cacao and carefully toasted almonds are combined in each handcrafted bar to create an opulent combination of flavors and textures that honors Guatemala's best ingredients.
The Soul of Guatemalan Cacao
Our 70% dark chocolate showcases the exceptional quality of Guatemalan cacao at its finest. Sourced from the lush highlands of Alta Verapaz, where misty mountains and volcanic soil create ideal growing conditions, our cacao beans develop complex flavor profiles that have made Guatemala renowned among chocolate connoisseurs worldwide. The region's unique microclimate, with its consistent rainfall and mineral-rich earth, produces cacao with distinctive notes of tobacco, dried fruit, and subtle spice.
This is the same sacred cacao that the ancient Maya civilization revered as the "food of the gods." Our family-owned farm partners in Alta Verapaz have preserved these ancestral cultivation methods, hand-selecting only the finest beans at peak ripeness. Each cacao pod is carefully opened, the beans extracted and fermented using traditional techniques that have been refined over generations. The result is a chocolate with remarkable depth and character that truly captures the essence of Guatemalan terroir.
The careful balance of 70% cacao creates an intense yet approachable chocolate experience. This percentage allows the complex flavors of our Guatemalan beans to shine while maintaining the smooth, velvety texture that makes each bite memorable. The higher cacao content also provides enhanced antioxidant benefits, making this indulgence a more nutritious choice.
Perfectly Crafted Harmony
Each bar features four carefully positioned, expertly toasted almonds that provide the perfect textural contrast to our smooth dark chocolate. The almonds are toasted to golden perfection, enhancing their natural nutty flavor and creating that satisfying crunch that elevates every bite. This isn't just chocolate with nuts added—it's a thoughtfully composed confection where every element works in harmony.
