Our darkest bar yet. Expertly crafted from 100% Rupa Rupa fine flavor cacao beans sourced from the high Amazonian region of Peru, this mouthwatering bar will change your perceptions of high cacao content chocolate.

The bar has a velvety mouthfeel, a cherry fruit aroma and fresh cacao fruit notes. Remarkably sweet for such a low sugar bar, the added sugar is just enough to allow the cacao to sing.

The high cocoa (lower sugar) content provides significant amounts of antioxidants, fiber, and minerals like iron and magnesium. These components can support heart health, improve blood flow, boost mood and improve brain function. The beans are fermented 6 days, dried 5 days with a low roast to retain much of the cacao's natural fruit flavor and acidity.

Check out our 85% dark chocolate bar featured in a homemade Chocolate Molé recipe and a Woodland S'more Cocktail recipe.

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

Mineral-rich water from the Andes mountains runs off into this area, creating fertile soil ideal for growing cacao.

featured review
“Incredible complexities in this dark chocolate masterpiece. It is like a fine wine or exotic coffee roast. Having tried chocolates from all over the world some of which are much more expensive, South American chocolates stand alone, and specifically Peruvian chocolates. This truly captures the essence of a single origin Peruvian chocolate. The layers are sweet, rich bold, earthy and unique. I'm hooked. Hands down one of the best 85% dark chocolate bars I've had the good fortune of tasting.”
