Cacao proudly sourced from Uncommon Cacao:

OKO Caribe (Organic and Direct Trade) has perfected the art of working with small farmers in the San Francisco de Macoris region, Duarte province of the Dominican Republic. Business owners Gualberto and Adriano consistently deliver this high quality cacao, with deep chocolate and red fruit notes. They have personal relationships with all farmers, offering microfinance loans for cacao-related expenses, as well as personal loans for family emergencies or other community needs.

“We have found dark chocolate bars under 70% that are made with Hispaniola beans AND vanilla create an explosion of tertiary flavors when paired with blue cheeses that have been aged in dessert wine. For this reason, in my chocolate and cheese pairing classes, the grand finale is Fruition Oko Caribe 68% with a French Bleu called Fourme aux Moelleux.”
