Belize 70%, Slow dried

Karuna is a dedicated bean-to-bar artisan nestled in the heart of the Italian Dolomites. Driven by a philosophy that honors the raw essence of the cacao, they transform carefully selected harvests into chocolate that reflects the soul of its origin. This specific bar is crafted from Criollo hybrid beans sourced directly from the Toledo District in Belize, showcasing a commitment to exceptional raw materials and precise craftsmanship.

The character of this bar is defined by a meticulous post-harvest process. The beans are fermented in traditional mahogany boxes and undergo a gentle, slow-drying period to develop a sophisticated complexity. On the palate, this 70% dark chocolate reveals deep, mature fruit tones of prunes and raisins, balanced by grounding woody notes and a subtle whisper of tobacco. Its refined texture is achieved using only simple, high-quality ingredients: cocoa mass, sugar, and cocoa butter.

Karuna's dedication to quality is matched by their commitment to the environment. Their bars are wrapped in sustainable, plastic-free, and glue-free packaging, utilizing certified natural papers and compostable cellulose foils. This thoughtful approach has earned them significant industry recognition, including a Silver Award from the Academy of Chocolate and a Bronze distinction at the International Chocolate Awards.
