Piedra de Plata 70%

Piedra de Plata 70% is a signature creation from Chokaico, an artisan bean-to-bar maker deeply rooted in the coastal landscape of Manabi, Ecuador. This is chocolate that honors its heritage through a dedication to both tradition and precision.

The sensory experience is defined by the rare Heirloom Nacional cacao, which offers a complex, nuanced profile. Unlike industrial bars, this chocolate is stone ground, preserving the rustic texture and integrity of the bean. A fascinating, unconventional process involves aging the chocolate in Palo Santo wood, which imparts a subtle, aromatic depth that lingers on the palate. The ingredient list is refreshingly simple, containing only heirloom nacional cacao beans, cane sugar, and additional cacao butter for a luxurious melt.

Chokaico operates with a commitment to integrity, evidenced by their Fair Trade certification which supports the longevity of local farming communities. This dedication to quality and ethics has garnered international recognition, including a Bronze award at the International Chocolate Awards Americas 2021-22, distinguishing this bar as a notable example of fine craft chocolate.
