Suggested use
A great introduction-to-dark-chocolate bar — enough sweetness to be approachable, with the depth of real cacao. Excellent for snacking, paired with fruit, or chopped into baking. The buttery character also makes it ideal for melting into hot drinks.
About the bar
Jaguar Swirl is named for the high-protein white cacao bean — sometimes called 'jaguar chocolate' for its rare, prized quality. Until 2023, the bar swirled jaguar through a 65% dark base. The current version grinds red and white cacao together into one cohesive chocolate, producing a creamier, more 'milk-like' experience without dairy.
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.
