Bean-to-Bar Dark Chocolate Bars

Our dark chocolate bars are made from bean to bar, by hand, in Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island, Canada. We roast, stone-grind and temper whole organic cacao beans from small farms in Nicaragua, sweeten them only with organic cane sugar and add a touch of organic cocoa butter for creaminess.

Every 40 g bar is a minimum of 75% cacao, with no emulsifiers or fillers — choose from eight botanical flavours below. See how we make it ↓

From Bean to Bar

Most chocolate brands buy ready-made chocolate from large manufacturers and melt it down. Bean-to-bar makers start with the raw cacao bean and control every step. Here's how we make every bar, by hand, in Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island.

Questions About Our Dark Chocolate

How dark is your chocolate?

Every bar is a minimum of 75% cacao.

Where does your cacao come from?

We buy our cacao directly from small growers in Nicaragua and pay them a premium, stable price — which helps them plan ahead and protect the biodiversity of their farms.

Do your bars contain dairy?

None of our bars contain milk ingredients. Corazon contains honey and Westcoaster contains hazelnuts. If you have a serious food allergy, please contact us before ordering.

Where is your chocolate made?

In our small chocolate production facility in Cobble Hill, in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Where can I buy your chocolate on Vancouver Island?

You'll find our dark chocolate bars at these Vancouver Island stores (selection varies, so call ahead for a specific flavour):

  • Great Greens — Cobble Hill
  • Sweet Meadows Market — Mill Bay
  • Pomme Market — Duncan
  • Market on Yates — Victoria

Do you ship across Canada?

How should I store dark chocolate?

Keep it somewhere cool, dry and dark, ideally 15–18°C and away from strong smells. Moisture can cause chocolate to bloom.
