Taza, based in Somerville, Massachusetts, produces this high-percentage bar through a dedicated bean-to-bar approach. As a producer committed to traditional processing, they emphasize texture and simplicity in their approach to cacao.
The 95% cacao content makes this an intense experience. The chocolate utilizes stone grinding, a method that preserves a rustic and distinctively gritty texture compared to more heavily conched varieties. This texture provides a foundation for the inclusion of whole almonds, which contribute a necessary crunch and a subtle nutty sweetness to balance the bitterness of the high cacao concentration and minimal cane sugar.
Sourcing and production standards are central to the identity of this bar. The product maintains a wide range of certifications, including USDA Organic, Non-GMO, and Certified Gluten Free. Furthermore, the maker adheres to Direct Trade practices, ensuring transparency in their relationships with cacao farmers. It is also suitable for vegan diets and carries Kosher Pareve certification.
