The 70% Flor de sal bar is produced by KAICAO, an artisan bean-to-bar maker located in Madrid, Spain. Operating under the name Kaicao Fabrica de Chocolate SL, the team manages the production process from raw bean to finished bar, maintaining close oversight of their production methods within their laboratory.

The cocoa beans for this bar are sourced from the Hacienda La Carrera farm in El Salvador. Following harvest, the beans undergo a sun-drying process to ensure proper moisture reduction. During manufacturing, the ingredients are refined using a melanger. The bar incorporates organic cocoa beans, cocoa butter, organic date powder, and sea salt to produce a profile characterized by notes of caramel, nuts, and a saline finish.

The formulation focuses on a simplified ingredient list, relying on the natural sweetness provided by organic date powder rather than refined sugars. This approach highlights the specific characteristics of the El Salvadorian origin cocoa while balancing the presence of sea salt.
