A celebrated 70% dark bar from Dandelion Chocolate featuring Toledo, Belize cacao with notes of chocolate cake, cream cheese, and red berry.
Dandelion Chocolate, based in the United States, is a renowned bean-to-bar maker dedicated to highlighting the unique characteristics of single-origin cacao. The Maya Mountain, Belize 2022 Harvest bar is a standout example of their craft, showcasing beans meticulously sourced from the fertile soils of the Toledo region.
This 70% cacao bar is crafted with a minimalist approach, using only cocoa beans and cane sugar to allow the inherent flavor profile to shine. The beans undergo a precise linear box fermentation process lasting six to seven days, which coaxes out a distinct palate of rich chocolate cake, a subtle tang reminiscent of cream cheese, and bright, lingering red berry notes. The result is a balanced, nuanced experience that has been recognized with a 2024 Good Food Award as well as silver accolades from the Academy of Chocolate and International Chocolate Awards.
Beyond their focus on flavor, the maker maintains a commitment to responsible practices, holding B Corp certification. By working closely with origin partners, they ensure that the journey from the tropical mountains of Belize to the finished bar reflects a dedication to both quality and ethical integrity.
