Essenzo Cacao Ecuador 85% Dark Chocolate – Single Origin 80g

Essenzo Cacao's Ecuador 85% dark chocolate is a single-origin bar sourced from Hacienda Victoria, a farm in Ecuador's cacao heartland. At 85% cocoa, this is a bar for those who appreciate the unapologetic intensity of dark chocolate — earthy, slightly bitter, with the mineral undertones that come from genuine high-cocoa-solids chocolate rather than sugar-forward sweetness.

About this product

Made from cacao grown and harvested in Ecuador, this tablet delivers the depth you'd expect from single-origin chocolate. The 85% cocoa concentration strips away dilution, leaving room for the natural flavor profile of the beans themselves. Each 80-gram bar is a complete tasting experience — break off a square, let it melt on your tongue, and notice the subtle complexity that emerges as the cocoa solids dissolve.

How to enjoy

• Eat slowly as an afternoon pick-me-up with a cortado or espresso.
• Break into pieces and melt gently to fold into mousse or ganache.
• Pair with sharp cheese, nuts, or dried fruit for a tasting board.
• Keep a square in your desk for a moment of calm when you need it.

⭐ Why we love this

This is real chocolate for real palates — no compromise, no filler. Essenzo's commitment to single-origin sourcing honors the Spanish tradition of respecting ingredient provenance, something deeply embedded in Spanish gastronomy. At 85%, you're tasting the terroir of Ecuador's finest cacao, not a sugar-sweetened approximation.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair with a glass of aged amontillado or a robust red wine like Priorat for a sophisticated tasting moment. For a lighter pairing, enjoy with strong coffee (a cortado) or Spanish ibérico ham — the mineral cocoa cuts beautifully against salt and umami.

📍 From Spain

While sourced from Ecuador's legendary Hacienda Victoria cacao, Essenzo Cacao is a Spanish artisan brand rooted in the country's long tradition of chocolate craftsmanship. Spain's chocolate mastery dates back centuries, and Essenzo carries that legacy forward with meticulous bean selection and minimal processing.
