The Best Organic Chocolate from the Sweet Earth to You

Some companies add vegetable fats to their couverture chocolate to save money. In fact some couverture chocolates contain vegetable fats (known as CBE) up to 5%. Theses CBEs are often not even listed on the ingredients statement! We choose not to do this because we think this isn't pure, ethical or good tasting. You can count on Santa Barbara Chocolate Couverture always being real chocolate and pure chocolate that tastes great.

Santa Barbara Chocolate's Ecuador single origin chocolates are made using the famous Arriba Nacional genotype cacao. This is a very fragile and delicately flavored cacao. The Arriba Nacional's natural cacao flavor comes through in our chocolate. Delicate red berry and floral tones accent the chocolate along with nutty after tones. Santa Barbara Chocolate's Ecuador Rainforest Organic Chocolates are the true Arriba Nacional Cacao and not the imitation CC51 genotype cacao typically sold in stores as being top quality Ecuador chocolate. Taste and compare and you'll see why quality is the difference.

Our fair trade organic chocolate is made with pure plantation rain forest cacao, conscientiously grown in the Amazon using eco-friendly farming techniques that ensure a sustainable future. Try it and you may very well find this to be your new favorite organic chocolate.

Santa Barbara Chocolate's organic chocolate is the best I've ever had and I must say it is very affordable when you consider all that has been put into it. Our cacao is South American in origin and grown by happy, eco-friendly farmers with the free will to grow anything they may choose. They have chosen to grow organic cacao for chocolate making because we pay fair and livable wages and we share a mutual respect. Please let me know what you think of our organic chocolate.

Sincerely,
