Taza Chocolate Organic Amaze Bar 95% Stone Ground, Wicked Dark, 2.5 Ounce (1 Count), Vegan

Perfectly unrefined, super intense 95% dark stone ground organic chocolate. This barely-sweet bar lets the bright fruity flavors of our cacao shout loud and proud! Amaze Bars take stone ground chocolate to another dimension by pairing incredible flavor experiences with our minimally processed, bold dark chocolate. Taza founder Alex Whitmore took his first bite of stone ground chocolate while traveling in Oaxaca, Mexico. He was so inspired by the rustic intensity that he decided to create a chocolate factory back home in Somerville, MA. Alex apprenticed under a molinero in Oaxaca to learn how to hand-carve granite mill stones to make a new kind of American chocolate that is simply crafted, but seriously good. in 2005, he officially launched Taza with his wife, Kathleen Fulton, who is the Taza Brand Manager and designed all of the packaging. Taza is a pioneer in ethical cacao sourcing. We were the first U.S. chocolate maker to establish a third-party certified Direct Trade Cacao Certification program. We maintain direct relationships with our cacao farmers and pay a premium above the Fair Trade price for their cacao. We partner only with cacao producers who respect the rights of workers and the environment.
