Stockists worldwide.
Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate is a dedicated small-batch artisan producer based in Eureka, California. Operating with a focus on meticulous, traditional manufacturing, the makers transform raw, organic cacao into refined bars through a slow, deliberate process. By utilizing a melanger for long-term refinement and ensuring precise tempering, they create a product that honors the integrity of the single-origin bean.
The Black Fig 72% Dark bar is an expression of precision and balance. It centers on organic cacao sourced from the Sambirano Valley in Madagascar, a region celebrated for producing beans with vibrant acidity. The inclusion of dried Black Mission figs adds a chewy, earthy sweetness that complements the bar's natural flavor profile, characterized by distinct notes of dried fruit, rich molasses, and bright citrus. Free from additives like soy lecithin or vanillin, the chocolate relies solely on high-quality organic cacao and cane sugar to achieve its velvety texture.
Their commitment to quality has earned significant recognition within the specialty chocolate community, including silver awards from both the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards. The brand maintains a rigorous focus on organic production, ensuring that every step of their process serves to elevate the character of the origin rather than mask it.
