Pasas de Uva

Pasas de Uva is produced by El Ceibo, a cooperative based in Bolivia. Unlike standard industrial chocolate brands, this organization functions as a tree-to-bar entity where the cacao farmers themselves own the company. Based in the region where their cacao is grown, the cooperative manages every step of the process from the harvest to the final bar.

This 100g dark chocolate bar is designed for direct consumption. It incorporates raisins as a primary inclusion, providing a chewy texture that balances the base chocolate. The recipe includes sugar and dairy milk, resulting in a profile that bridges the intensity of dark cacao with the creamy, sweet characteristics typical of dairy-inclusive bars.

El Ceibo utilizes locally sourced cacao from the Bolivian landscape. By maintaining direct control over their supply chain, the cooperative ensures that the farmers retain ownership of the production cycle. This model focuses on regional sustainability and utilizes locally grown ingredients to maintain consistency across their line of edible and culinary chocolate products.
