A clever riff on the classic nuts in chocolate bar. Inspired by Asian Fusion cuisine, we roast the edamame like a peanut to give it a nice crunch, add a dash of sea salt and drop it our creamy, rich 47% Peruvian chocolate.
The unexpected ingredients in our Edamame Sea Salt chocolate bar never fail to surprise and delight first-time tasters. The result is a perfect balance of sweet and savory tasting notes with a nutty texture. The cacao origin is Rupa-Rupa, Upper Amazon region of Peru. The beans are fermented 7 days, dried 7 days with a medium roast.
In addition to paying farmers fairly, jcoco donates 10% of net profits to providing additional support to cacao farmers.

perfect pairings
The salty crunch of toasted edamame in smooth milk chocolate makes a wonderful partner to an equally smooth but earthy Junmai-shu sake with a soft acidity and a brief, clean finish. Add inari sushi and Mochi. The result is a both savory and mild, subtly sweet.
Enjoy alongside our Mango Plantain and Crisp Quinoa Sesame bars with our Milk Chocolate Flight.

sourcing
Our 47% Peruvian chocolate is sustainably sourced from family owned and operated farms in the high Amazonia region known as Rupa Rupa. Mineral-rich water from the Andes mountains runs off into this area, creating fertile soil ideal for growing cacao. It is known for producing fine flavor cacao, which are rare and delicate in flavor.

featured review
“This is one of my new 5-star Seattle chocolates. I love edamame like boiled peanuts. But with chocolate?? A delightful delish surprise. Nutty, salty, edamame crunch bathed in silky chocolate. And I love the cilantro green wrapper.”
Putting Farmers First
Working directly with farmers in the region, we cut out the middle man—ensuring that more money goes to the farmers. We also invest in helping to improve post-harvest processes like fermentation and drying, and ensure the quality and flavor profile of the cacao.

Chocolate shortbread cookies with Edamame Sea Salt
"I’ve never had edamame in chocolate and I should’ve have been eating that a long time ago. The edamame gave the shortbread cookies a nutty flavor & more crunch." Recipe by @kosykandy
