Crazy 88 is produced by SOMA, an artisan bean-to-bar maker based in Toronto, Canada. This specific bar represents a technical achievement for the workshop, as it balances a very high cocoa content with a deliberate selection of beans originating from Peru, Ecuador, and Venezuela.

The flavor profile of this 88% bar demonstrates how high-cacao chocolate can remain expressive without extra additives. The palate encounters notes of black tea, balsamic vinegar, and fresh cream, followed by brighter hints of lemon and jasmine, finishing with whispers of apricot and toast. The manufacturing process relies on a minimalist ingredient list consisting only of cacao nibs, organic cane sugar, and cocoa butter, omitting lecithin, vanillin, and vegetable fats entirely.

The quality of the production has been recognized by industry peers, evidenced by a Silver award at the 2016 International Chocolate Awards Americas. Each 65g bar is crafted to highlight the natural characteristics of the South American cocoa used, focusing on the raw profile of the beans rather than heavy processing.
