Sea Salt & Almond 80%

Taza operates out of Somerville, Massachusetts, as a bean-to-bar producer. The maker is recognized for a distinct approach to chocolate production that emphasizes a coarser, more rustic mouthfeel compared to traditional smooth-conched bars.

The Sea Salt & Almond 80% bar utilizes a stone-ground manufacturing method. This process preserves the raw integrity of the cacao, resulting in a bold, earthy profile. The inclusion of organic almonds adds a crunchy contrast, while the sea salt highlights the inherent intensity of the 80% dark chocolate base.

Sourcing practices at Taza focus on direct trade relationships to maintain transparency with growers. The bar is certified organic and consists of a minimalist ingredient list, including organic cacao beans, cane sugar, almonds, cocoa butter, and sea salt. It contains almonds and carries a note regarding potential traces of other tree nuts and sesame seeds.
