SOURCE Dak Lak Province lies in the central highlands of Vietnam. Cacao was introduced here in 2007. Nowadays, Dak Lak Province has the most land area dedicated to cacao in the country. Given the size of this province, and its many large state-owned farms, it can be hard to achieve full traceability over the supply chain. We have had to work to find producers who are aligned with us on quality and traceability, and we feel lucky to have long-term relationships with them now.

FLAVOR In this chcolate you'll experience mild flavors of cashew and earth with a peppery finish.

SINGLE ORIGIN CHOCOLATE Our Single Origin chocolate bars are made with cacao sourced from six provinces in southern Vietnam. The climate, soil, and water of each province (call it terroir if you want) as well as the mix of cacao varieties and post-harvest practices contribute to the different flavors of each origin, which in turn make the different flavors of each bar.

BEAN TO BAR MANIFESTO In 2011, when we came up with the peculiar idea to make chocolate using only Vietnamese cacao and to manufacture it in Ho Chi Minh City. We had never heard the term, "bean-to-bar", but we soon did and all of a sudden felt like we were part of something larger than just creating a local food business. We roast the cream of each crop of Cacao in small batches.
