Our Explorer Bars are single-origin — one country, often one farm. Each bar tells the story of where the cocoa grew. They are crafted by the bean-to-bar makers in our collection, scored into squares, wrapped in foil and a printed paper sleeve naming the origin, the cooperative, and the harvest year. Available in-store and through bespoke gifting inquiries.
Blended chocolate prioritises consistency. Single-origin shows place. A Madagascar 70% and a Venezuela 70% are the same percentage but taste like different ingredients — the difference comes from the soil, the cacao variety and the fermentation.
Bars survive long-haul flights without issue, unlike fresh truffles. Pack flat in hand luggage, away from heat sources.
We compose four-bar origin flights — Madagascar, Venezuela, Ecuador, Tanzania — for guided tastings in the atelier or private events. Available by request at the counter.
The bars in our collection are crafted by trusted bean-to-bar makers in the Netherlands and Belgium who import directly from cooperatives in each origin country. Every bar is selected, presented and wrapped from our atelier in Amsterdam.
All dark single-origin bars (65% and above) are vegan. The milk bars contain Dutch dairy.
