Super Dark 85% represents the signature approach of Taza, an artisan producer based in Somerville, Massachusetts. The brand focus centers on a traditional manufacturing style that intentionally leaves the cacao particles larger than those found in mass-market bars. This dedication to stone-ground techniques ensures the finished product retains a distinct, rustic texture.
The sensory experience of this 85% bar is defined by its minimal ingredient list, which combines only organic cacao beans and organic cane sugar. Because the chocolate is stone ground rather than refined through long-duration conching, the beans exhibit a grit that releases flavor gradually. The resulting profile highlights prominent fruity and smoky characteristics, offering an unadorned look at the quality of the raw material.
Ethical production remains central to the Taza model. The brand operates under both Organic and Direct Trade certifications to oversee the supply chain. While the bars are crafted with care, those with specific dietary sensitivities should note that the facility processes products that may contain traces of tree nuts and sesame seeds.
