About the bar

A three-ingredient bar is the truest test of cacao quality — there's nowhere for the bean to hide. ChocoSol's signature cacao blend speaks for itself here: full-bodied, slightly fruity, deeply chocolatey.

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.

Storage
