About the bar

The coffee here comes from the Sierra Madre de Chiapas in Mexico — the same region where ChocoSol sources its cacao. Roasted whole, the beans bring a deeper, less sweet coffee flavour than ground espresso powder, plus the satisfying crunch that makes this bar's name.

About the maker

Founded in Oaxaca in 2004 by Michael Sacco — whose research in sustainable food systems led him to study chocolate-making with a Zapotec grandmother — ChocoSol began in Oaxaca's markets with chocolate hand-roasted by the sun, hand-peeled, and stone-ground with simple tools. The name was given by Michael's partner Jessica: sol means sun in Spanish, earth in French, and soul in English. In 2006, ChocoSol moved to Toronto, where it has grown into a social enterprise and a community space hosting chocolate tastings, workshops, and traditional Chocolatadas. Co-owner Mathieu McFadden still pedals thousands of pounds of chocolate across the city by bike trailer. Every bar is made from direct-trade cacao sourced in partnership with Indigenous farming communities across the Americas.
