About

70% Rustic

Mindo Chocolate produces the 70% Rustic bar, which originates from the Pichincha region of Ecuador. This artisan maker focuses on processing local cacao near the source, maintaining a connection to the specific environment where their beans are cultivated.

The bar is defined by its simple composition, consisting strictly of Nacional cocoa beans and cane sugar. By omitting additives such as lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats, the maker preserves the natural character of the bean. The resulting texture is intentionally unrefined, offering a tactile contrast to highly processed industrial bars. This approach earned the bar a Bronze medal at the 2017 International Chocolate Awards Americas.

As a bean-to-bar operation, Mindo Chocolate maintains oversight of the production process. The 50 gram bar serves as an example of minimalist manufacturing, where the focus remains on the specific profile of the Nacional variety grown in the Ecuadorian climate.
