Quinoa Crunch Milk Chocolate

Dick Taylor is an established artisan chocolate maker based in Eureka, California, committed to the rigors of the bean-to-bar process. By maintaining full control from the raw bean to the finished bar, they showcase the unique character of specific harvests. Their work reflects a deep respect for both the farmers and the distinct potential of the cacao fruit itself.

The Quinoa Crunch Milk Chocolate highlights the nuance of 55% cacao sourced from Fazenda Camboa in Bahia, Brazil. This bar is defined by a luxurious, creamy mouthfeel, which serves as the perfect canvas for the inclusion of organic toasted quinoa. The result is a sophisticated interplay between the velvety melt of the chocolate and the satisfying, savory crunch of the grains, reflecting a meticulous approach to refining in a melanger.

Quality begins at the source. The cacao beans are carefully fermented in wooden boxes and dried on raised beds to ensure consistent flavor development. As a certified organic producer, Dick Taylor prioritizes integrity in every step of the craft. Their dedication to excellence has been recognized internationally, earning multiple accolades including Bronze awards from the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards.
