Chocolate Alliance Gold Award Winner. With up 1,000 product entries each year, The Chocolate Alliance is dedicated to finding the best chocolate handcrafted by artisans from more than 37 countries.

Our friend and former Director (and Miami native) Mellina White dreamed up the flavor combination of our Mango Plantain bar from two distinct recollections: her grandmother’s mango tree, always bursting with fruit in the summertime, and how almost every meal included some form of plantain. "To me," Mellina says, "this bar is home."

This gold award-winning mango chocolate bar is made with crunchy chewy bits of tropical fruits smothered in high cacao (47%) Peruvian milk chocolate.

A pinch of sea salt clarifies diced mango and plantain chips, while a dash of habanero delivers a piquant finish. The cacao origin is Rupa-Rupa, Upper Amazon region of Peru. The beans are fermented 7 days, dried 7 days with a medium roast. 

Enjoy this bar as part of our Tropical Tasting Flight, featuring complimentary milk, white chocolate cayenne veracruz orange, and 72% Peruvian dark chocolate with cacao nibs.

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