What 70% cacao actually tastes like
Seventy percent is the sweet spot for a first serious dark chocolate: enough cacao to taste bright and fruity, enough organic cane sugar to keep it friendly. Because we stone grind rather than conch, the flavor stays loud. Expect ripe fruit up front, a rustic cacao middle, and a clean, slightly gritty finish. That texture is the point.

Stoneground, not sanded down
We grind Direct Trade Certified cacao with hand-carved granite millstones at our factory at 561 Windsor Street in Somerville, MA. Most chocolate makers refine their chocolate for days until every trace of texture disappears. We do less, on purpose, so the true flavor of the bean survives the trip from Oaxacan-style molino to wrapper.

Eat it, bake it, melt it
This bar is built for eating, but it moonlights in the kitchen. Chop it into cookies or brownies for pockets of intense 70% cacao, or melt two squares into hot milk for a fast dark hot chocolate. If you bake often, our 70% Deliciously Dark Chocolate Chunks are the same chocolate in a resealable bag.

The Taza difference
Taza was the first U.S. chocolate maker to establish a third-party certified Direct Trade Cacao program. We pay our partner farmers above Fair Trade prices, name them, and publish the numbers in an annual Transparency Report. Our chocolate is certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Certified Gluten Free, and Kosher Pareve. It is also dairy free, soy free, and vegan.

What does 70% cacao mean?
70% of the bar by weight is cacao (beans plus cocoa butter). The remaining 30% is organic cane sugar. Higher percentage means more cacao flavor and less sweetness.
Is 70% cacao the same as 70% cocoa?
Yes. Some brands print “70% cocoa” on the label; it refers to the same cacao content. We say cacao because that is the bean we stone grind.
Is the Deliciously Dark bar vegan and dairy free?
Yes. The ingredients are organic cacao beans, organic cane sugar, and organic cocoa butter. No dairy, no soy lecithin, no animal-derived ingredients. It may contain traces of tree nuts and sesame seeds.
Can I bake with this bar?
Absolutely. Chop it for cookies and brownies or melt it for ganache. For bigger batches, our 70% Deliciously Dark Chocolate Chunks and 70% Baking Chocolate 3kg Bag are the same 70% chocolate in baking-friendly formats.
Why is the texture gritty?
Because we stone grind our cacao with granite millstones instead of refining it for days. The texture is a feature: minimal processing keeps the bold, bright flavor of the bean intact.
What size is the bar?
Each Deliciously Dark bar is 2.5 oz. It is also available as a case of 10 bars.
