Don Miqueas

Don Miqueas is a 75% dark chocolate bar produced by the Colombian maker Cacao Disidente. Based in Colombia, this bean-to-bar maker focuses on highlighting specific regional profiles from within their home country, moving away from mass-market production methods to showcase the identity of localized harvests.

The cacao for this bar is sourced from Planadas in the Tolima region. To prepare the beans for processing, they undergo a fermentation period of 5 to 6 days in wooden boxes, followed by sun-drying on raised beds. The resulting bar uses a simple composition of cacao beans, organic cane sugar, and cocoa butter, allowing the characteristics of the Tolima terroir to remain the focus. The effort put into this process earned the bar an International Chocolate Awards Americas Silver in 2021-22.

Cacao Disidente operates with an emphasis on origin transparency, working directly within the Colombian landscape to source their raw materials. By managing the transformation from raw bean to finished bar, the maker maintains control over the final profile, ensuring that the fermentation and drying protocols are respected to protect the integrity of the Planadas origin.
