Organic Amaze Bar 80% Dark
Taza uses traditional stone-grinding to create a unique gritty texture that requires minimal processing and no industrial conching. This 'Direct Trade' pioneer offers exceptional purity with only two ingredients in their base bars.
Ingredients & Purity
80% cacao content. Ingredients are simply organic cacao beans and organic cane sugar. No added fats or fillers.
Scientific Evidence
Third-party organic certification and a pioneer of the 'Direct Trade' model which bypasses exploitative middleman structures.
Brand Transparency
Taza publishes an annual Transparency Report that discloses the exact prices paid to farmers, which are significantly higher than Fair Trade minimums.
Value Assessment
Excellent value for a craft, stone-ground chocolate, often available at a lower price point than other artisan bean-to-bar brands.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most dark chocolates use heavy processing and alkali (Dutch processing) which strips the cacao of its beneficial flavanols; Taza's stone-ground method keeps the ingredients close to their natural state.
