Fleur de Sel 76% Dark Chocolate - Wallace Craft Chocolate (60g)
By carefully adding a dash of Salt Spring Island sea salt (with a hint of blackberry), we enhance the flavour of our single origin Philippines chocolate, complementing the natural essence of these exquisite beans. Bliss.
The Fleur de Sel 76% Dark Chocolate bar is made using cacao ethically sourced from Kablon Farms in the Philippines!
Ingredients
Organic Cocoa Beans, Organic Cane Sugar, Fleur de Sel, Blackberry
May contain: Dairy, peanuts and tree nutsLearn About Kablon Farms
The Philippines has a long history of cacao farming; the crop was introduced in the 1700s when a Spanish colonist brought seedlings over to the islands from Mexico. Since then, it’s common practice for Filipino communities to consume cacao as drinking chocolate, similar to Maya communities throughout Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala.
Kablon Farms is a 70 hectare bio-diversified, sustainable farm in South Cotabato, in Davao, Philippines. The farm is owned by the Pantua family and the crop production is managed by the eldest sibling, Ernesto Pantua Jr. (who prefers to be called Jun).
With an uncompromising emphasis on the highest quality of specialty cocoa beans, Kablon Farms is leading a change in the low-cost/low quality norm seen throughout the Philippines. Constantly improving and innovating, the farm runs cocoa farming and fermentation trials to perfect the unique flavour profiles of their cacao offerings.
Kablon is a Wallace Craft Chocolate single origin supplier, with their farm representing the Asia-Pacific region of cacao production.

Bolivia 73% Dark Chocolate - Wallace Craft Chocolate (60g)
This is no supermarket chocolate – imagine how a wild blueberry from the forest explodes with so much more flavour than its farmed kin. The cacao beans of this chocolate bar uniquely come from wild trees, rather than farms, growing in the Bolivian forest. We are incredibly privileged to be able to share this truly special and rare chocolate with you.
We are proud to offer our single-origin chocolate as a transparently traded product through our supply partner Uncommon Cacao. This means that you, as a consumer, can verify the prices paid along the supply chain, ensuring cacao farmers, and everyone else, are paid honestly, openly, and fairly.

Ingredients
Organic Cocoa Beans, Organic Cane Sugar
May contain: Dairy, peanuts and tree NutsLearn About Itenez
Itenez Wild Harvest Cacao is from the region near Baures, Bolivia, close to the Reserva Forestal Itenez and the Río Blanco.
These beans are very rare, native Beniano cacao from the wild Itenez forests. They are harvested from wild cacao trees growing naturally in the Itenez forests, gathered and processed by local campesinos. According to Heirloom Cacao Preservation (HCP) genetic tests, the cacao is 97.3% Heirloom Beniano Boliviano with 2.7% Upper Amazon Forastero.
An initiative to support collectors of native, wild cacaos was started by Agricultural Economist and General Manager of Rainforest Exquisite Products S.A. (REPSA) Volker Lehmann, who was responsible for pioneering the wild cacao trade starting in 2004, increasing the quality of the harvest process and ensuring economic gains for all involved.
The Itenez wild harvested Bolivian cacao beans are very small beans with big flavour: Deep, rich, robust and floral. We are thrilled to be able to partner with the communities in Bolivia to offer this unique and special cacao.
Itenez is a Wallace Craft Chocolate single origin supplier, with these beans representing the South American region of cacao production.
