Maker

Mission Chocolate

Mission Chocolate is a bean to bar chocolate maker based in São Paulo, Brazil. Arcelia Gallardo the founder/maker has previously trained as a chocolatier, opened a chocolate shop in California, and also trained as a bean to bar maker at Dandelion Chocolate. Arcelia has taken strides to expand the bean to bar movement in Brazil, working with farmers on process, and also helped initiate the Association of Bean to Bar Brasil Makers.

Cacao Region

Bahia, Brazil

Bahia is one of the largest states of Brazil, located in the east, along the Atlantic coast. Once a monarchial stronghold dominated by slave-centric agriculture and ranching, Bahia is now a domestic manufacturing center and the focal point of Brazil’s re-entry into the fine cacao market. The region was once the largest cacao producer in the country, so reputed that a portion of southern Bahia was nicknamed “Cacao Coast.” Unfortunately, bioterrorism in the 1980’s devastated the country’s crop over the course of just a decade. In the early 2010’s, a number of family farms took it upon themselves to revitalize the local fine flavor cacao industry, which continues to grow annually.

Cacao Estate

Fazenda Camboa

Fazenda Camboa is one of the largest producers of organic cacao beans all of Brazil, and is the biggest in the southern state of Bahia. Fazenda is Portuguese for “estate,” and the Carvalho family began taking over cacao estates such as Fazenda Camboa back in 1942. Since then, they’ve dealt with the devastation of witch’s broom fungus destroying almost all of Brazil’s cocoa crop back in the 90’s, and completely reinvented their approach to farming. Camboa now includes several thriving species of cacao, including some native Amazonian varietals, all grown in organic and natural conditions.

Tastes good

I have no complaints about the flavor. The candied orange peel was- as I suppose I should have expected- a bit hard and chewy. The texture difference was drastic enough to make it distracting for me, and a bit like I was eating two different things at once instead of a cohesive whole.

Perfection

The chewy orange generously sprinkled on top is perfect with the thinner style bar with a great snap! I've ordered this multiple times as it's one of favorite chocolate orange combo's...and I've tried several others from bar and cacao. Keep this one on the order list always please.

Both delicate and rich

A someone else wrote, the candied orange and the chocolate are almost like two different things altogether. But they're both so delicious, I can't complain. The bar is elegantly thin and beautifully packaged. Would make a great gift.

Hands Down Best Orange Bar

Love love love the delicate thinness of this deep, dark, rich chocolate sprinkled generously with candied orange pieces. Perfect snap. Incredible depth of cocoa notes. This is the best of the chocolate+orange combo.

Wonderful!

I enjoyed it! It has interesting candied orange pieces on it. The chocolate itself is on the spicy side with hints of citrus. We he packaging is very luxurious too.
