Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is crafted by Feliu Chocolate in Guadalajara, Mexico, using fine-flavour cacao from the Soconusco region of Chiapas — one of Mexico’s most revered cacao-growing areas. Feliu’s bean-to-bar approach emphasizes careful fermentation, roasting, and conching to preserve the subtle aromatics of the bean and showcase true terroir. The Soconusco terroir is known for its rich history and balanced cacao character.

Flavor Profile
At 71% cacao, this bar delivers a layered palette: deep roasted cocoa with elegant red fruit and plum notes, a hint of brown sugar warmth, and a smooth, lingering finish. Its complexity is balanced — bold enough for dark-chocolate lovers, yet refined and approachable for those who enjoy nuanced flavour progression.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Allow a square to gently melt on your tongue so the cocoa richness opens first, then let the fruit-forward top notes emerge and evolve into a soft caramel warmth.
Pair with a medium-bodied red wine like a Merlot or Rioja to mirror the fruit and cocoa interplay. For a non-alcoholic match, choose a robust espresso or a floral oolong tea to highlight the bar’s rich and aromatic qualities. To add texture and nuance, enjoy alongside roasted hazelnuts or toasted pecan clusters — their nutty character complements the chocolate’s depth beautifully.

Summary

The Soconusco 71% bar from Feliu Chocolate is a refined expression of Mexican single-origin cacao — bold and layered yet smooth and balanced. With its blend of roasted cocoa, fruit hints, and artisanal care, it’s a standout choice for lovers of origin-driven dark chocolate.

Vegan, Dairy-free, Gluten-free

This chocolate is crafted from a blend of hybrid and Criollo cocoa varieties sourced from the Soconusco region in southern Chiapas. This unique blend boasts a remarkably intense aroma, characterized by vibrant citrus and fruity notes, accompanied by hints of toasted bread and raisins.

Soconusco holds the distinction of being the birthplace of cocoa production in Mexico. It is likely one of the earliest regions where cocoa was cultivated on a substantial scale, dating back to pre-Columbian times. Our commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in our direct purchasing from local cocoa producers, ensuring they receive fair compensation in exchange for meticulous selection and post-harvest processing.

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
