Description

Handcrafted in small batches, our almond bark combines rich, single-origin 75% dark chocolate with perfectly roasted almonds for a bold yet balanced indulgence. The chocolate delivers deep cocoa notes with a smooth finish, while the almonds add a satisfying crunch and natural sweetness. Made bean-to-bar with ethically sourced cacao.

Zorzal Cacao is an agroforestry project of Reserva Zorzal — a 1,019-acre private bird sanctuary and 130-acre organic cacao demonstration farm in the northern mountains of the Dominican Republic. Reserva Zorzal sets aside seventy percent of its land to be forever wild and is committed to reducing climate change through a collaborative approach to conservation and reforestation. They are part of a carbon-offset project with thirteen other landowners, employ wildlife monitors in the community, and serve as a model for the integration of conservation and sustainable agroforestry development. Zorzal is the Spanish word for “thrush” and refers to the Bicknell’s Thrush, a rare, migratory songbird that winters in the tropical forests of the preserve.
