Flower Bouquet Organic Heirloom Chocolate Discs (15 pc)
75% Dark chocolate (15 pc)
Small-batch, dark chocolates handmade with love in Watertown, MA, using ‘Nacional’ varieties of heirloom cacao, grown without synthetic chemicals, grown under the shade of native rainforest hardwood trees, and imported directly from independent growers in Puerto Quito and Esmeraldas, Ecuador.
‘Sueños’ (‘dreams’) is the name of Yamile Roldan’s farm in Puerto Quito, Ecuador. The dream realized at Finca Sueños, and by all of the farmers of the Asociación Nueva Esperanza organic cooperative, is to conserve through cultivation rare heirloom ‘Nacional’ cacao varieties that are native to Ecuador and have been grown and enjoyed there for thousands of years. Nacional varieties are low-yielding and comprise only ~5% of Ecuador’s current cacao crop (and even less globally), but are world-renowned for their exceptional aromas and flavors, and lack of bitterness.
In March 2020, Lori Shapiro, the Founder, Owner and Chief Chocolate Officer, launched Suenos Chocolates to connect small, independent organic producers growing heirloom cacao varieties in Ecuador with consumers in the United States. Lori makes each chocolate bar by hand, incorporating seasonal specialty ingredients, including flowers & herbs grown in her own garden.
