Maker
Dandelion ChocolateDandelion Chocolate is a San Francisco-based maker that uses only two ingredients: cacao and sugar. Most of their bars are held at 70% cacao, which highlights the natural flavor differences between origins. Founded by Todd Masonis and Cameron Ring, Dandelion has become one of the most recognized names in American craft chocolate. A strong gift for anyone who wants to explore how origin shapes chocolate flavor.
Cacao Region
Toledo, BelizeToledo 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 CacaoMaya 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.
