About 80%

Hoja Verde is an Ecuadorian producer based in the heart of the country, maintaining a distinct dual identity as both a chocolate maker and a flower cultivation business. As an integrated producer, they manage the entire manufacturing process internally to maintain control over the final outcome. This bean-to-bar approach ensures that the characteristics of the local harvest are preserved throughout production.

This 80% cacao bar relies on the Nacional bean variety, a prized cultivar native to Ecuador. The composition is minimalist, consisting solely of cocoa mass and sugar. On the palate, the bar presents a spectrum of flavors including woody, floral, and fruity notes, demonstrating the natural character of the high-percentage cacao. The tempering process is conducted in-house to achieve a stable finish.

The production follows high standards for environmental and quality management. The chocolate holds Organic, USDA Organic, and BPM certifications, reflecting the rigorous protocols applied to their agricultural and manufacturing practices in Ecuador.
