Awarded Silver for the Best Inclusion Bar by the Chocolate Alliance in 2022, one of the longest running programs for artisan chocolate in the world.

We collaborated with celebrated Chef Tarik Abdullah to bring you this award winning Middle Eastern inspired treat. He combined this savory spice blend with 61% Peruvian dark chocolate to create a warm and aromatic artisan chocolate bar. The Boharat spice is used throughout Middle Eastern cuisine often in lentil dishes and stews. The cacao is sourced from Rupa-Rupa, in the Upper Amazon region of Peru. The beans are carefully fermented 7 days, dried for seven days and have a medium roast. The fine Peruvian cacao bar transforms this traditionally savory flavor profile, infusing dark chocolate with spices such as cumin, black peppercorn, cinnamon, and cloves for a surprisingly harmonious combination of flavors.

In addition to paying farmers fairly, jcoco donates 10% of net profits to providing additional support to cacao farmers.
