Authentically Crafted Cacao Bars

The Taza Chocolate Bars Products Incorporate Traditional Methods

— December 16, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Taza Chocolate Stone Ground Chocolate bars incorporate traditional production methods. The dark chocolate blend is made in an authentic manner as the company uses stones to grind whole cacao beans.

The Taza label aims to merge Mesoamerican chocolate making techniques with a socially conscious manufacturing procedure. It does so via its inclusion of cacao grown in Bolivia by the cooperative Central Integral Agroecologica de Alto Beni (CIAAB).

This product is as much equitable as it is delectable. The certified organic bars are made of cane sugar, vanilla extracts and 87% dark chocolate, allowing shoppers to satisfy their cravings without the consumption of processed additives or pesticides. In sum, it is a guilt-free dessert option with an admirable social mandate.
