Tanned Chocolate

Tanned Chocolate is a focused dark chocolate expression crafted by the Vancouver-based artisan maker Kasama Chocolate. As a bean-to-bar producer, Kasama takes full control of the transformation process, ensuring that the distinct character of the origin remains at the forefront of the final bar.

This specific bar is defined by its minimal and intentional ingredient list, featuring roasted cacao nibs paired with Philippine Muscovado sugar. The result is a profile that leans into the unique terroir of the Philippines, offering a sensory experience that balances the intense, earthy depth of dark cacao with the nuanced, molasses-rich sweetness of unrefined Muscovado sugar.

Kasama Chocolate is celebrated for its commitment to sourcing directly from the Philippines. By working closely with specific origins, the maker highlights the diversity of Southeast Asian cacao, turning simple, high-quality ingredients into a 55-gram exploration of craft techniques.
