Description
Discovered growing wild in a remote Belizean rainforest, this chocolate bar features the rarest cacao on Earth. 100% genetically pure Criollo, long thought lost to history.
Thriving untamed in one of the world’s most pristine ecosystems, these ancient trees are direct descendants of cacao once revered by indigenous civilizations. Believed to be hybridized out of existence, this rediscovered cacao offers an unmatched, heirloom flavor.
Crafted in partnership with Chocolate Naive and BFREE (Belize Foundation for Research & Environmental Education), this bar is more than chocolate; it’s an archeological and ecological marvel.
100% Criollo. 100% Donated. Through Caputo’s Preservation Program, all revenue from Caputo’s Wild Criollo Chocolate Bar is donated to support BFREE’s mission to preserve the environment and cultural heritage of Belize.
Taste Criollo chocolate at its purest.
