Oaxacabar Cacao Comal Roasted Chocolate

Tucked away in Oaxaca's colonial streets, artisans craft chocolate bars using methods unchanged for generations. Locals journey from miles around to taste this fresh, ground delicacy. Made from rare criollo cacao beans grown in the rainforests of Chiapas and Oaxaca, these bars offer a truly authentic Mexican chocolate experience found nowhere else.

Oaxacan artisans treasure the criollo cacao bean, chocolate's crown jewel. This ancient Mexican variety delivers unmatched delicacy and complexity, yet makes up a mere 3 to 5 percent of global chocolate production. While commercial makers opt for the hardier but less nuanced forastero bean, we preserve the rare legacy of true criollo, chocolate as it was meant to be tasted.

Another alternative to eating the chocolates is making a frothy famous cup of Oaxacan Hot Chocolate which requires two bars.
