Maker

Dick Taylor

Former boat makers and carpenters, Adam Dick and Dustin Taylor were intrigued by the new and challenging trend, craft bean to bar chocolate. They started making chocolate in a 500 sq. ft. space in Arcata, CA in 2010. Their chocolate business, Dick Taylor, quickly evolved, and grew from their love and meticulous attention to detail. Their space in Eureka, CA boast their careful craftsmanship; into an interesting appearance with sharp letterpress packaging and an intricate, pretty mold. Dick Taylor also pushes the traditional methods of chocolate making to coax the maximum “pure” flavor they can from their beans and for their single origin chocolates. They support and purchase their beans through direct trade working directing with the farmers. Most of the bars in their collection are made from only 2 ingredients. They have won multiple awards for their bars in a few short years. Dick Taylor has ventured into rare parts of the jungle to find cacao beans no one has used before. They are constantly keeping up with the demand for chocolate but never cutting any corners to always provide the best chocolate.

Cacao Region

Toledo, Belize

Toledo is the southernmost district of Belize, home to some of the country’s most pristine rainforests, extensive cave networks, coastal lowland plains, and small offshore islands. Punta Gorda, the district capital, hosts a 3-day chocolate festival each May, which has helped build tourist interest in the region. Toledo is home to aroun 30,000 people from a wide range of cultures, including Creole, Mopan & Q'eqchi Maya, the Garifuna, Mennonites, and Mestizos; all of them rely primarily upon agriculture or fishing. Primary crops grown include beans, corn, coffee, yams, and plantains.

Cacao Estate

Maya Mountain Cacao

Maya Mountain is arguably one of the most established cacao origins in the world, having been one of the first to very clearly establish its own brand. Started in 2010, MMC put Belizian cacao on the map, as a pioneer in the centralized fermentery social enterprise model. What that boils down to is 350+ farming families in southern Belize selling their wet cacao beans to the MMC team at a transparent premium. Most of these families are Q’eqchi’ and Mopan Maya and have been producing cacao for generations. In 2014, the origin was even awarded an Heirloom Cacao Preservation (HCP) designation, and its versatile and rich flavors attest to the deservedness of that honor. All Maya Mountain Cacao beans are certified organic.

This was HEAVENLY!!!

This drinking chocolate was QUITE YUMMY!! Really rich and smooth, velvety...Husband and I loved it. Reminded me of the drinking chocolate that I had in Vancouver made from chocolate ganache and steamed milk...we will be purchasing more of this for sure!!

Great hot chocolate

This is a rich, earthy drinking chocolate that you can use to make European style hot chocolate. Highly recommended.

Dick Taylor Drinking Chocolate Belize 72%

I am not a huge lover of hot chocolate but I find this Belize drinking option very enjoyable. It is rich and creamy and flavorful. If you do not mind some fruitness I think you really should try it. I also recommend starting with 2 spoons rather than 4 because the heat enhances the spike of fruity taste!

My favorite!

Incredible drinking chocolate. I wish it broke down more easily in water but its worth the effort.

Yummm. Love Me Some Dick Taylor Cocoa!

Dick Taylor is probably my most favorite chocolate maker; i love the smoothness, the fruitiness, the acidity, the perfectly executed add-ins, i could on and on. This drinking chocolate is fantastic of course, but i do have a preference for their Madagascar so i docked a star for that; i find the Belize to be too bitter. but i'm sure some of you like that, it's just not my thing.
