original_beans_edel_weiss_40-_boxopen_chocolats-de-luxe-de_59-80_600x600

Organic white chocolate without vanilla. Cacao from the Yuna River Valley, Dominican Republic.

Rich notes of banana milk and cacao butter.

Original Beans are one of the most sustainable chocolate producers on the planet. For every one bar of their chocolate sold, one tree is planted.

Ingredients: direct trade cacao butter, raw cane sugar, whole milk.

Soy and gluten free. 100% organic.

Rainforests provide not only the delicious diversity of cacaos, but also most other biodiversity and freshwater, and a global climate system. Original Beans way of preserving them is its purest form. The fresh fruit from a fine cacao tree tastes heavenly. Can you distinguish those flavours in this chocolate?

White chocolate is milk chocolate without cacao solids -and usually without character. To offer you an exceptionally delicious white chocolate, this bar focuses on pure essentials: butter of a delicate Trinitario cacao from the Yuna River Valley (Dominican Republic), and milk from a Swiss alp. With no vanilla and lecithin added, a surprisingly pure chocolate moment is revealed.

Original Beans komt uit de kast met heerlijke NIEUWE chocolades!!

Enige tijd geleden had ik het genoegen om de nog in “testfase” samples van deze chocolades te mogen proeven. En eerlijk gezegd ze waren toen reeds het proeven waard, nu deze “BRAND NEW” chocolate bars zijn nog stukken beter geworden.

  • GRAND CRU BLEND NO.1 80%: ORGANIC DARK CHOCOLATE OF WORLD’S RAREST CACAO VARIETALS RAINFOREST HOTSPOTS IN SOUTH AMERICA AND AFRICA.
  • FEMMES DE VIRUNGA 55%: ORGANIC MILK COCOLATE SUPPORTING WOMEN CACAO FARMERS, PRESERVING AFRICA’S OLDEST NATURE PARK EASTERN CONGO (D.R).
  • PAPUA KERAFAT 68%: DARK CHOCOLATE FROM HISTORIC CACAO VARIETY, REDISCOVERED IN RAINFOREST OF PAPUA, INDONESIA.
  • EDEL WEIS 40%: ORGANIC WHITE CHOCOLATE WITHOUT VANILLA, GROWN IN YUNA RIVER VALLEY, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

More words really are not needed here, just try to get some of these wonderfull chocolate bars.

Thanks to Vera Hofman & Gerrit Leenheer.

Chocolate Mexicano Discs of TAZA

NEW and DELICIOUS in our shop are the:

Chocolate Mexicano Discs of TAZA

Inspired by the passion for Mexican chocolate traditions, TAZA hand-carve granite millstones to make these rustic, organic dark chocolate discs bursting with bright tastes and bold textures.

Guajillo Chili Chocolate Mexicano

Chilis are often added to chocolate in Mexico for a spicy kick. We grind single-origin Dominican cacao using vintage Oaxacan stone mills to preserve its complex flavor and rustic texture, then blend in organic chilis. The result is a bright, bold chocolate that perfectly balances sweet with heat.

Vanilla Bean Chocolate Mexicano

Whole organic bourbon vanilla pods from Villa Vanilla Spice Plantation in Costa Rica are ground together with single-origin Dominican cacao in vintage Oaxacan stone mills to make this sweet, fragrant chocolate. Stone grinding preserves the bright flavors of our premium ingredients and leaves an addictive rustic textures in the finished discs.

Cinnamon Chocolate Mexicano

Cinnamon is the traditional partner to chocolate in Mexico. We grind whole cinnamon sticks together with organic Dominican cacao using Oaxacan stone mills. Our simple stone-ground process gives Taza Cinnamon Chocolate Mexicano its intense flavor and distinctive rustic texture. Makes a great Mexican hot chocolate.
